Sunroof Control Bar Fixing
« on: May 03, 2026, 12:08:32 PM »
Hi Chaps,

I've removed my coupe's sunroof because it wasn't rising properly at the rear when locked.  I bought a precautionary set of Betaboyz replacement bushes (which I don't think I need) but the one I've found broken is at the end of the control bar that manages the lock.  This looks like a tricky piece to change and I'm just wondering if an Araldite repair might take the loads.  Any thoughts or advice please?

This clip takes a longitudinal force and there seemed to be a dent amount of flat metalwork to support Araldite on the joint.  I'll give this a few hours to harden and fingers crossed it'll work; otherwise, I think Mark might have a spare mechanism.
