Very cool! So glad that it helped. Stay 🆒️ bro!
I've also used 0000 steel wool to clean the channel out with WD40. Great job on steps to service tracks.

Nice work! I really wish I could've made it to the orchard, always a great show!
Thanks, i just used some of the footage from the orchard.
Nice job E-man!!!
Thanks so much
Awesome video, I enjoyed it very much, brought back memories when I worked on my 65 VW bug. She didn't have a sun roof but I did knew how to repair them.
I don't have the 65 bug anymore and I do miss her, she was my first car. Now I own two cars, the second one being a 70 VW bug, alas, no sun roof, maybe third time the charm.
Thanks again for the videos, I love Misty, take good care of her.❤😊
Thanks so much for the comment! The sunroof is definitely a nice feature. I was looking for a ragtop. But misty spoke to me and I really enjoy the sunroof!
E-man Deluxe The way you handle repairing your sunroof, you look like a natural, like you done it before by the tech manual. I was in the background cheering for you. You made me a subscriber. 😁🚘
@@starrwoman1 comments like yours feel so great to hear, and are the reason I capture them to share! If you feel up to it, I welcome you to go back and watch the entire playlist of Misty. I took the camera along from day 1 and had such a blast doing what I did. She still brings so much joy to the whole family! Thanks for the sub and enjoy. ✌E-🦸♂️
Nice work on the sunroof, E-man. I've been waiting for this second installment.
Glad you enjoy, really wasn't that difficult
You probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last few weeks xD
@Kyng Roman yup, I have been using instaflixxer for years myself :D
Welcome back man. I’m getting there with my 66 Nice sunroof work
Right on! Took a gorgeous drive tonight! One of those... Where does this road take me... Roads way in the country. Thanks for 👀
Great info!
Thanks brother!
Great seriea. I've learned alot already. I don't even have a sunroof car, yes. Great job. Catch you on the next video.
- KEEP DUBBING -
Thanks John. Will keep them coming brother!
Thought you were going to show us a snake! Dad just went out to our parts car a couple weeks ago to grab a part out of it and a snake dropped out of the headliner (for the record my dad is petrified of snakes😂)
Omg really! I don't think mrs E-man would step foot in misty again if that happened to us.. 😃
Great job! Make it look easy
Thank you, really wasn't too difficult. Paying close attention to how it goes back together and lots of patience. 👍
Just as happy to figure put a new editing program to be able to make better edits finally!
G'day Kevin from Australia.
One more job done it's a great feeling isn't it.
Another informative video = great series. ✌
Thanks so much kevin. Even better than the sunroof rebuild, I finally figured out my new editing software so videos will get a little more interesting. I'm excited about that as well
Nice Work!!!
Thanks so much
11:20 this man looks like Vin Diesel and Paul Walker at the same time🤔 cool vid very helpful
Right on man! Glad you enjoyed!
Nicely done man, great video!
Thanks man, finally got around to figuring out this new software. Feels like it took forever
E-man Deluxe well you did a great job! What software did you switch to?
kdenlive... Its great but damn learing curve. I also I'm not much of a computer guy
E-man Deluxe haven’t heard of that one, I’ll look into it. I’m not a big tech person either but I know I need to step up my game.
this is a free download and I guess it's really good. My old program wouldn't allow me to do a speed up and add music. So that's why I switched. Really simple stuff that I've never played with yet but it's exciting to me
Thank you for the video . . Do you have a list of all new items you needed to buy ??
New thing; those darn adjuster wheels in the front for the height adjustment. Can NOT be purchased anywhere. I’m currently making some pucks to put under and use some washers for shims to get the right height.
Oh boy. Good luck. Thanks for watching
those felt dust seals only last about 6 months to 1 year if you keep it inside. I stopped using them
Good to know. Next I will be welding up the "teardrop" below the rear window just like you did a video on. Thanks mike
Need
to know proper placement of the three ribs for the headliner install

Thanks for 👀
My sunroof doesn’t “pop up” flush on the driver side?
Nice job. Was curious if you bought the cables from WW too and if so did you have to buy the cog to match or use the stock cog?
Yes, cables came from wolfsburg west and were a perfect match to the original cables. The cog was the stock one. Mine was in good condition. Thanks for watching E-🦸♂️
Nice video but where i can find all the parts to fix my sunroof?
Wolfsburg west
Where did you find the rear seal for the sunroof itself? All I could find was the felt dust seals.
I purchased from wolfsburgwest. You need to look at the parts diagram pretty close I think. I definitely bought it from them.
@@EmanDeluxeVLOGS thanks for the quick reply! I actually just found it on west coast metrics site and ordered it. Finally got my sunroof back from my local paint guy today... tried painting in the Dungeon.. no bueno.. looked like I sneezed on it.
@@johnn9322 that's too funny. I know exactly what you mean. Been there...good luck and enjoy that nice functional sunroof. 🙏✌🤙
What glue did you use on the seals?
Basically contact cement. It was carpet glue i used. Brushed it on with a acid brush
I too live in Connecticut.i also have a '65 sunroof but mine binds. Any advise to check and repair?
Right on! Does the sunroof open at all? If it does, I would say, see if you could get some sort of lubricant in the cables . If so work the crank back and forth. If not there most likely is a rusty spot in the cable where they are no longer flexible. Hope this helps!👊 E-🦸♂️
@@EmanDeluxeVLOGS it binds and tries to skip over the cable.i am going to try what you did, clean and grease everything. I bought new cables as well.
Are you in hartford manchester area?
@@chrisdnomiug8994 no, on the shoreline
@@chrisdnomiug8994 I would say you have a rusty spot in the cable. So it became unflexable in that spot. Good luck. Hope the video's help
Very informative and I'm lovin' the new hyper speed but who were you talking to and who were you yelling at? Ha ha. Keep up the great work. What's next on Misty???
God what a learning curve to learn that new program. Of Course I wasn't talking to anyone... Just horsing around. Most likely carpet but need to patch the tear drop first near the rear window. Thanks for the comment pops!
What procedure did you use when putting the headliner piece back in? Did you put it in through the top, like flex it in like it came out? This video is top notch!
Going back in... a little finness, twisting side to side... I believe the workshop manual even states twisting it is the procedure. But yes from inside the car. Really glad you enjoyed!
@@EmanDeluxeVLOGS Oh okay so install from the inside! I got it now. I'm taking mine apart today, I may film it, we'll see. Its taped shut so I don't know what I have in store for me. I have no headliner so I can see some stuff.
@@SladesVWBeetle very cool... good luck... take time and have plenty of patience. In the end. Mine works perfectly. Smooth just like it was new! And it was totally seized when started
E-man Deluxe I hope for the same!! I am uploading a video right now. I hope you don’t mind, I brought you up in it. Should be up shortly! And hey,,,, that guy answered me, paying tomorrow for sunroof thingy, not sure what it’s called!
@@SladesVWBeetle right on dude. Happy it worked for you. And for sure. glad you dropped my name. Thank you
Once again E man deluxe pulls it off nice job like the patina hey by the way did you teach your son how to park... when is he going for his drivers license.... and also make sure he pull of a K turn in the road to things to practice on Hey by the way where is the bus show 13 October what state is it in and what town is it in could you get back to me on that email please junkman do PS E man deluxe have Junior practices park me and catering in the middle the road take care that’s a safety Sally tip
Thanks sally! He is up for licence soon! Not sure about the vw show off the top of my head. Im sure you can google it. I will get him out there to practice his turns. Thanks for 👀
What did you get the car for and what are you into it? Watched since you found her
Purchased for 1000, not sure exactly how much, want to say 2500. Thanks for watching
@@EmanDeluxeVLOGS that's awesome! I just purchased a 65 beetle. Everything intact! Same interior as you. Has a dual port 1600. Guy said that it had a hole in gas tank. So I removed gas tank, didnt fine a hole. Replaced the fuel lines and got it to start. It's not idling though. So I'm going to change the spark plugs and either rebuild my carb or buy a new one. Only thing the car needs is a carpet kit, and headliner. Other than that, its complete and has only a little rust under the battery. The guy also said it was 6v but when I got home found out it was 12v. I got for 2300 and he had an extra pair of solid low backs and a roof rack I bought for an extra 200$. After buying the fuel lines, seats, roof rack, and battery. I'm in it 2600$ total. I thank god cause I have been looking for a 67 or earlier beetle for so long and happened to land this one! It's from cali so practically no rust! Slight bend in the front bumper. He had all the paperwork dating back to 85 for any work or repairs that have been done to it. I'll reach out for some tips! Enjoy your content
@@craigfawcett5745 oh man sounds epic! I would try to just get a rebuild kit for the carburetor and give a clean, should be all it needs. I am looking for a roof rack as well. Nice score
@@EmanDeluxeVLOGS sounds good! I'm heading to our local shop that Carries all the bug parts. One stop shop. I'll get a rebuild kit and then just clean it out and rebuild it. I'm getting a headliner as well, no carpet knits in. I noticed the color you went with and with having the same interior colors you have and mine being white as well, i dont want to go straight black carpets. And that's all the Kits they have. I'll prob just order one online
@@craigfawcett5745 sounds great! Enjoy the fun car man! I love misty! Drive her all the time. working on touching up some a couple spots now and preserving the patina.
Where did you find the seal that goes on the actual sunroof lid? I’m getting ready to do one in my 65 and can’t find it online.
I purchased all from wolfsburg west.
