Not Skoda but the same principle applies.

 

i tried on The Renault forum but didn't get much response.

 

the sun roof on my wife's old Clio is leaking.

dealer wants silly money ( I.e. More than the car is worth ) to put it right

 

it's not a sliding roof , just opens by tilting a little.

The seal had gone.

I've seen a few vids on YouTube of people removing the roof themselves and masticing the seal. But I haven't got the confidence to do it.

 

I'm thinking of just getting some silicon sealer and filling the small grove between the glass and the metal roof.

 

I realise  she won't be able to open it then, but that isn't a problem.

 

what do you think

 

Thanks

 

Try some petroleum jelly on the seal it gives it some new life. And silicone would seal it shut no doubt. 

Thanks gav

Is there not a sunroof specialist near you would be much cheaper than skoda? 

They can usually get seals far cheaper than main dealer
