Has anyone had the problem where it no longer slides open but still rises up (or doesnt work at all)? If so im also wondering how much it would cost to fix and if it is an easy job to do/have done?

Its to do with the mechanism, it has a locking system that enables it to slide backwards, sometimes they can wear and  the no longer function properly. You can the parts from VW, but otherwise from a wrecker its the same roof as a '89-'94 Passat.

Is your Corrado NZ new?

Cheers Neil, I also heard that sometimes they were swapped with the Glass sunroofs from passats when the original ones were beyond repair? The Corrado isnt mine just yet, but im working on that - and yes, it is NZ New.

There is a black 16v out there, with a serious twist in the chassis. Looks ok from the outside....

Yeah Ive heard that too, the glass roof would be a nice modification. My other Corrado I sold had that exact problem, one day it worked fine the next it wouldn't slide back correctly. If its red and the rego is PR*** its my old one.

The corrado is now mine, and its not your old red one - its the blue one. Thanks for the help

Congrats on the purchase.

I know this is a bit late, but if you're looking for a 'roof, the passat GT in Avondale Pickapart had one, I seem to recall them asking around $40 for the complete mechanism.
