Central Connecticut - Shop to Fix my Sunroof?


GDI

Recommended Posts

I am trying to find a really good shop to fix my 1974 sunroof that opens and closes, but the back doesn't pop up into place.  I am in central Connecticut, and may take it to the local Porsche specialist who can likely fix it, but they are not that familiar with 2002s.  I tried contacting Sportscar Restoration, but so far haven't gotten a response.   This site seems to have the answers to all questions, so any recommendations on someone who can fix this ? 

 

Thanks!

Assuming you don't want to attempt it your self, I would think the local Porsche shop if they are familiar with similar age cars should be able to make the needed adjustments.  You might as well purchase the two feltish seals while your at it.

 

The site has a bunch of pretty good references on the sliding sunroof you could provide them if necessary.

I know one of the SCR guys is doing the Targa Panamera this week.

The felt looks good to me, but I am not an expert, if they are comfortable with working on it I’ll have the refresh everything it needs.  They specialize in 356s as well as 911s so I’m sure they could figure out the ‘02’s mechanism.  But I’d be more comfortable with a BMW specialist, of course.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
