After spending 10 hours wrestling with my Astroroof and another 3 hours searching the internet, I am desperately hoping someone here has experienced a similar problem and has already found a solution. I just purchased and installed a new Astroroof seal and pan seal from Brian at Gbodyparts.
Here is my issue.
With the new seal installed, the glass does not sit flush with the roof panel in the closed position (down about 3/16"). After struggling with it for hours (countless adjustments, different motors, lubrication), we removed the new seal and replaced the pan assembly. Without the slider seal, the unit works perfectly. The glass panel is centered in the opening and the entire panel is flush with the roof.
I had an unused original style seal that we installed (without glue) and tried it. Although it comes up higher, it still isn't flush. We tried hand cranking with no success. We removed the pan again and ran it out of the car and everything appears to be operating correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? It seems like if the seal was softer it would work. I just don't know what to try anymore.
