It's doable,however I don't think that the citroen main dealers stock them anymore.

Easy job to do mate. Need a few torch bits & the hardest bit is removing the headlining. Just pick a dry day to do it. Also, there's drain lines under there that you'll see when you remove the sunroof. Blow some compressed air down them if you can.

Would he need to take out the whole sunroof to replace the seal? just thinking because the seal is underneath the glass part and the glass comes off with screws, haven't actually looked at it but just a thought

Yeah it's the whole unit but it comes out as a whole thing & allows you to pull the seal out afterwards. I cleaned mine up because it was leaking, added loads of mastik sealant that i had in the garage & replaced the original seal & sunroof & it was fine. It's not a difficult job, just remember to test it afterwards once it's all set. Using a new seal is much better also, I just didn't have 1 at the time & needed quick fix.

its the headlining what i dont fancy doing lol, ive had to to a local garage who told me its the weather gasket seal which is just the seal what the glass sits on when shut, they quoted me 94 pound for the seal and to fit it, im tempted to just get it done and out the way, i was just going to seal it but ive just baught a new machine polisher and stuff to bring the bodywork up real good so thought it would be a shame to do all that then too cut corners on the sunroof. oh, im also looking to buy vtr interior too if anyone is selling, can collect, im at hartlepool can travel though
