HCOC The Hyundai Coupe Owners Club ®And Forums

Steve here, from near Southampton.

I've just discovered rust lifting the seal round the sunroof, and it looks like other people posting on this forum have had the same problem.

I'm hoping that I'll find a few suggestions to help me fix this without it getting too expensive !

However, a relatively minor niggle on a car that has performed faultlessly since purchase.

Simplest solution is a roof from a scrapyard, preferably one you can see before purchase. 4 bolts and you're done.

Hello and to the forum

As said before, either get one from a scrapper if its in better nick or if you can find one a new seal and repair your one

New seals are available but hugely expensive

Welcome mate

Welcome to the club

Hello and

What excellent and quick help and advice - thanks

I've looked at Mr Tuscan's "Korean Tuscani Black Project" and it's certainly a simple task to repair. However, from what I've read elsewhere on the forums, even thorough repairs only seem last for a year or two before the rust re-appears. And then there's the issue of buying a seal at a reasonable price - I've seen them on Ebay, but......

The fundamental problem is that the metal isn't up to the job - and a repair won't change that.

As suggested, I'll contact the local breakers and make sure that I view before I buy. Once the old one is off I'll probably repair it as a backup.

Sounds like a plan - thanks.

hello mate and to hcoc.

Hello
