Does anyone know if New Seals are available, if so, where I might find one?

I could have ordered one for my GLI from the local VW dealer last year but it was pricey, around $180 if I'm not mistaken.

Search and be patient; one may pop up!

I found one on ebay for my Quantum for around $60 a few years ago; the correct part # and sealed in a bag and everything. If you need one but don't want to pay stealership prices, program ebay to search for it and email you should it find anything.

I consider sunroofs a bit of a liability, and have seen several rabbits that had permanently sealed theirs shut. You could consider going that route. But suffering leaks that may lead to mold or electrical problems; that's a pain in the ass!

(competitor's name removed by moderator) lists an A1/A2 Sunroof Seal for $110.00



And yes, they are a liability, mine started leaking just before winter. With no time / place to work on it. I opted to pull the carpet and padding, for now I just mop up the puddles :lol:

Pulled the carpet?! You should have just taped up the top of the sunroof. Much less labor intensive. ahaha.

Nah,
Had to come out anyway, this summer I am stripping the floor, slathering some POR15 on it, and laying down RAAMmat.
