Repair and replacement
Sunroof Glass Repair & Replacement
Sunroof problems come in three flavors: a cracked or delaminated panel, a mechanism that has jumped timing, or a drain that stopped flowing. The first is glass, the second is mechanical, the third is usually a blocked tube behind the headliner.
We diagnose which one you have before quoting. A leak that gets blamed on the seal is often a clogged front drain, and a new panel will not fix that. When glass genuinely is the problem, the replacement matches the tint and curvature so the panel sits flush and quiet.
Symptoms worth checking
- A cracked, chipped or delaminated sunroof panel
- Water staining on the headliner, or a wet seat after rain
- A whistle or rushing noise above about 40 miles an hour
- A panel that will not close flush, or reverses on its own
- Water pooling in the footwells or the spare-wheel well
Worth knowing
Why is my sunroof leaking if the seal looks fine?
Because the seal is not what keeps the water out — it slows it down, and the drains carry it away. A blocked drain pushes water past a perfectly good seal and into the headliner.
Can a sunroof panel be repaired instead of replaced?
Chips in sunroof glass are rarely worth repairing: the panel is small, the glass is often tempered, and a repair mark sits directly overhead. Replacement is usually the better value.
How the work goes
- Step 01
Diagnose
Glass, mechanism or drains. We run water through the front and rear drains and operate the panel through its full cycle while you watch.
- Step 02
Repair
Panels are replaced with matched glass, drains are cleared and the tubes checked, tracks are cleaned and the mechanism re-timed.
- Step 03
Water test
The roof is closed, flooded at the drains and checked from inside before the car goes back to you.
