  • As promised, Sam pulls the Sunroof and all the parts out of our 1967 Sunroof Beetle and lays them all out, literally. Every screw, cable, cover, guide and piece needed for a VW Beetle sliding sunroof is laid out on a table and Sam goes over them all. If you've ever wondered what pieces or parts your VW Beetle Sunroof might be missing or how to assemble or repair your sunroof, this might be what you're looking for. Once all the pieces are covered and explained, Sam re-installs them back into the roof of our Beetle and walks you through how to set the gear assembly, cables, slides, sunroof height adjustment and more. We hope this video helps you figure out what parts or pieces might be missing or damaged on your VW sunroof. More importantly, we hope it helps you get your sunroof back in working condition so you can enjoy the open air feeling in your Vintage Volkswagen!

    Thanks for the in depth information about the sunroof. There's not much out there and this really helps VW people.

    Really appreciate the in depth vid for the sunroof, have a 76 sunroof down to the shell and this vid will really help with the reassembly and adjustment.

    Very nice work Sam, I'm pretty sure if I did that job there would be enough parts left over to do 2 sunroofs..lol..
    Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.. God Bless and take care...

    How can I unclog the drain tubes?

    • @Sam_Mebane
      @Sam_Mebane 6 місяців тому +3

      I use a twisted welding wire to push through the tubes at the corners. It's much easier to do if there isn't a headliner in place and you can pull the tubes from the corners of the assembly.

    I have a 1964 vw sunroof beetle, I’m wondering if my 1964 uses the j-shaped tubes?

      Hello Ivan, yes. The only real difference between the two is the front adjustment piece for the sunroof panel I go over at about 9:25.
