I need a whole load of parts to get our sunroof working again, although luckily I have the expensive cog and cables.

To start, does anyone have the winder handle, or something similar that will fit, and the two metal strips that connect the rear of the sunroof to the bus on the slider?

I also need new rubber seals, anyone know where I can buy generic seals that I can cut to fit, as heritage expect me to sell both my legs to finance them.

I'll post some pictures up when my phone stops being gay.

Cheers,
Olson.

And an interior light cover like this, but not broken...

And another interior light to go above the walkthrough bit.

Oh yeah, and these plastic bits that got at the front of the sunroof...

The walkthrough light or the other one in the picture?
I have a switch for the one in the picture...
 
I believe you can use the sunroof handle from a beetle as well as some early BMWs, Volvos Audis etc, as long as they had Golde sunroofs.

Cheers Jon,

I dunno whether to go for those ones, the CSP ones or the place Araon suggested, although their minimum order is £40.

I am, he's doing some work on my bus at the moment.
Just for the record the original seal was never meant to stop water, only leaves etc so with our climate your better of adapting something yourself rather than going out of your way to get originals. Might try those ones from Automobiletrim on my roof.
 
Looks very much like the handle on mine.

you can even have the festoon...

youl see what I mean about the broken switch as long as you still have yours it should be a simple fix....either replace it whole by drilling the rivet out or take the end of yours and peg and glue it onto the shaft of this one....
