SUNROOF SEAL 200 90

posted by  someone claiming to be JW on  Wed May 30 10:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]



Greetings bricksters,

//Mystery question of the day//

My Swedish tank has a sunroof with a wind type noise that seems to be coming from the front seal of the sunroof (factory). The seal doesn't seem to be tight there.

In an unsuccessful attempt to kill the noise culprit I put on a sunroof deflector. Now I have wind noise from the deflector - perhaps worse than before...

My next thought is to replace the seal - which I have been trying to avoid doing all along. Has anyone ever replaced a sunroof seal on a 240? Would I be crazy to consider doing the job myself? Could it be done in a couple of hours? What kind of costs am I looking at? Parts, labor (if I go the professional route).

Any alternate recommendations or thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    I have replaced a sunroof seal efore, but not that "windlace" which circumnavigates the opening. Just the "wiper" seal at the top, rear of the sliding panel.

    For that one, I went to Home Depot and bought a commonly available bottom sweep seal for aluminum storm doors. It had a vinyl strip clamped into an aluminum strip. Removed the vinyl, which had a nearly identical profile to the Volvo seal. Glued it into place on the sunroof lid.

    A direct replacement part for the main sunroof seal is pricey. Check the archives. someone reportedly found some comparable material at a home center.
