Brilliant video. My car started to get mouldy inside and i figured with it being 20 years old that the seals had gone somewhere. During the course of cleaning the mould, i discovered the two front footwells completely soaked and was baffled as to why. I knew the sunroof wasn't leaking as such because while driving in the rain, nothing came through but i actually never knew that there were small drainage channels in a sunroof. From looking at the exact route of the drainage pipes, i could see that the inside of the car was soaked inside on the way down towards the floor. I've not tested them yet but i'm sure this is the problem now i've watched this video so thanks very much.
Just done the job described here and these instructions are very good. A ratchet spanner will speed the job up as is stated. The hardest part is reconnecting the drain tubes, there is no spare length on them so the frame has to be in position which then blocks access to the pipes. I used thin nose pliers to lightly pinch the tube and wriggle it back on to the drain pipe. I used 8mm mastic which squeezes out when all the bolts are done up and has to be trimmed off but that's easy. I was surprised how well made the frame is, its quite robust, so you can pull down unevenly without worrying about breaking it.
Very thorough. Especially like the warning about using silicon. Well done and thanks.
What a nice, generous chap! I'll tackle my sons' leaky Clio sunroof now; many thanks.
Excellent guide: clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
THANK YOU !!! After trying all the silicones and glues and black gungy sticky stuff, i followed this video and removed the complete sunroof. A little clean up , and some mastic strip off ebay , refitted and tightened up as your video, its DRY !!!!! No more showers !
Nice one, glad the video helped
Awesone tutorial, I've been fighting my leaky sunroof for 4 years, and thanks to this I finally got the courage to sucessfully repair it 💪💪💪 thank you mate!
You made that look easy Martin, Bish bash bosh job well done 🔧🔧🔧
It was with the right tools James.
Cheers
Martin
Excellent video! Gives me the confidence to tackle the job myself. Renault quoted me £141 for the seal alone so mastic tape it is for me!!!
Hi Martin, GREAT video and clear instructions ! Very useful indeed. What size/dimensions of the mastic tape do you recommend ?
Proper geezer you lad, very informative and nicely done, many thanks.
Martin, Great video and info, I am sure a lot of people would be wary of touching a sunroof. Take care David
Thanks Dave, this one went pretty smooth for a change lol
Another problem with the Clio sunroof is that they would rattle, it was quite a common warranty repair. Overall the Clio was a fairly reliable car.
I've seen cars from VW group brands,Seat,VW, Skoda etc with far more serious water ingress problems.. People assume that anything German built or with German mechanicals has bulletproof reliability, in my experience that's not always true.
I agree, there's good and bad points with all cars but people only remember the bad points.
I have a Peugeot 205 with a manual sunroof and the same issue. Gonna try to do the same and see it it fixes the leak. Thanks for the informative video.
nice fix cool little video and good idea using that tape no messy mastic squeezing out of the edges when refitted
It's a common problem John, it should be ok now.
Top bloke love ya videos,been given a Clio and I got all the same problems,thanks for the help
Where does the short rubber piece go? took it off, and can't remember exactly where it goes back on.
thanks for your video my clio have water in all of the foot wells and dont know how to get it out due to the sun roof so i will have to fix it
Fantastic guide, had all the bits ready for almost a year but been putting it off as I have the electric sunroof varient... Any suggestions on how to remove that?
Shouldn't be too difficult. Good luck bud.
Do the clios come with other sunroofs? as I'm getting a 2004 1.6 clio and the roof seems to slide back over the roof of the car and not just push upwards.
Thank you so much for your help
Hello Martin great video, I just did mine this February 2017 car was full of water (above the carpets). I used a draught excluder strip its ok so far. Worst part is getting the 16 bolts undone !!
Yes, it can be a bit fiddly but the ratchet spanner helps on the side bolts.
I bought a ratchet 10mm spanner specially for this job after seeing another vid on you tube. Always enjoy watching your vids keep up the good work.
That makes sense. Makes the job easier.
excellent, just what I needed
Great repair guys ! Looks like the problem is solved there ..
Thanks Shawn, yes it is.
Can you recommend the tape you used? Size etc
Cheers for this mate, gonna attempt it myself
Cheers this video is the best instructional for this job nice one guys
Love watching your videos - much prefer doing the job myself for an old car than paying Hundreds £ for it. Thanks for another great video.
Any got any recommendations on the size of tape to use? Many Thanks!
I can't remember bud, sorry.
Great job Martin. Good family time 👍🏻
Yes Greg, Why have a dog and bark yourself lol
Good video, well presented and explained.
Thanks bud.
Good video Martin - nice and straightforward job. Unlike many of the car jobs you undertake that end up being a right b*stard. Good to get an easy one - and sunshine too! Have you thought about applying for Ed China's old job at Wheeler Dealers?!
Haha, Not another MB, I'm in charge on this channel with the chuckle brothers and Lee now and again lol
think this is the issue with my clio
what's the name/make etc for the tape you used please guys
thanks in advance
Can't remember bud but we got it from Ebay
@@retrorestore no worries thanks, just bought a complete gasket from ebay for £12
Excuse my ignorance but please explain which tools you are using to this novice! I really want to try this fix on my Renault. And thanks in advance.
Certainly don't miss the days of owning a Clio. The sunroof was the only thing that worked properly on mine. Could the staining be removed on the headlining?
Yes, I would say so Michael. it's not too bad.
Many thanks for a very useful vid.
Another good job well sorted Martin cheers col..
Thanks Col.
Great tutoria, very clear thank you!
Thanks for the good explanation for this fix
You could put a bead of silicone round let it set up then refit it, that might work?
Yes, it probably would but it might not have enough "give" in it to compress so it could sit proud.
Whoa! Nothing went wrong? Even a blind squirel finds a nut once and awhile. Good video Martin.
Nice simple fix this one Bri. Makes a change.
Thanks Martin, Really useful! Do you have a garage somewhere around London by any chance?
Unfortunately not
The mothers car is leaking at the roof, it was taped up but still leaking, ill going to try this tomorrow, I had considered buying her another car but that would mean selling the problem on, or selling it and being dishonest, so if it this work I thank you very much and I'll eventually upgrade her car but at least I'll be confident the leak is fixed
I'll let you know how it goes... but thank you so much for the amount of detail you went into... I definitely feel confident towards getting it done
Always enjoy your videos. Great work
Thanks for watching Neil.
Yes bro👌 that's exactly the advice I needed thanks 🤙
Thank you for this video 👍
Great vid Martin.
Cheers
Jamie
Thanks Jamie.
Cheers
Martin
Good day Martin
HI Vijayant.
Nice fix Mart.
Baz.
Cheers Baz.
Nice fix Martin,cheers for the vid.. cheers steve
Thanks Steve, easy fix this one.
Hi I know this is an old vid but what width did you use for the draught excluder tape?
Can't remember bud, sorry.
@@retrorestore I think the way you fix the rattle is to load the hinges with lm grease
How much do you charge for this? I need it doing but don’t want to do it myself! Lol
Fantastic once again !
Thanks Mark, glad you enjoyed the vid.
Nice job Martin . French cars and sunroofs not a good combo . I see Jimmy has a proper Billy Fury quiff proper old school.
Must be Last way to paradise . Cheers Pete.
haha Pete, I think i'm turning him retro lol.
Just a quick note is Gary working at the shop now . Or just helping out.
Gary,s going freelance like me very soon.
Good luck to him.
What width mastic tape was used?
Very helpful
Very helpful cheers mate
Glad it helped
Love yer accent! You an Essex lad?
No South London bud.
@@retrorestore I’m originally from St.Mary’s Cray. Oh cheers for the advice on the sunroof, works a treat. 👍
good vid martin
Thanks Chris
is it still good after 5 years?
😊
Fookin French build quality is absolutely dire! They had this issue with the early Clios 25 years ago lol!
Yes, it's a common problem on these. Sorted now though.
Cheers
Martin
What is that tape called again? I cant seem to find it anywhere? Have you got a link for where i can buy it?
I got it from Ebay bud, Can't remember the link.
@@retrorestore whats the name of the stuff?
I can't remember, sorry.
I used a draught excluder tape (profile e) from eBay. £3 did the trick.
spot on
It rained hard yesterday here Paul, no more leak.
Cheers
MARTIN
I look forward too seeing more
What area are you based?
If you could let me know where you’re based that’s be great 😅
Where do I buy mastic tape
any DIY Superstore bud.
still not leaking after 4 years mate?
No no no , not always the seal , Beware the 2 screws with torx head on the sunroof glass,
rain can come through here if they are loose.. nearside usually.
@Will on mine, i found it drips straight down and into the roof lining, not along inside the sunroof frame, which has the channels in. I used a blob of tiger seal on the outside round bits going through the glass.. 4 wet winters later, still good..
@Will check those 2 torx screws are tight first, good luck.. had the car since 2009..
Regal bushes ????
what about them ?
retrorestore can you get hold of them still ? I've messaged a couple of times but no reply
Just forget it I've messaged several times !
I think Ima just stick with silicone, after all my Clio is only a field car 🙄😂
Ahh Renault.. Citroen and Peugeots poor cousin. I had a Renault 19 that literally fell apart before my very eyes.. Window winders and the gear knob came off in my hands. Sun visor fell off randomly one day.. It leaked too, badly. Good engine though, it always started. I hear Renault has improved a lot these days, really crappy cars until about 2008.
Haha, you'll never get a job in their publicity department lol
