Well... Was on the a1 today in the s2 with me mate and decided to open her up, then all of a sudden the fooking sunroof just ripped straight out!!! We both looked at each other with complete shock! Proper shit ourselves.

So am on the lookout for a nice sunroof if anyone can help that would be great, here's some pictures:







Good job it wasn't pissing it down lol.

 

I had the same happen to me in the 4i

Mine came out 230 miles from home on a very cold March night.

The sunroof started to whistle very slightly as i was going at a good pace, then all of a sudden it got louder then just shot out.

bloody hell

 

So glad it didnt hit a car!!!

 

yeah same thing happened to smit when he was driving his cossie,bet it was scarie

 

you lucky it didn't scratch your roof

 

Mine did

I stopped at a petrol station about a mile after it happenend and the car that was behind never stopped so i thought all was ok. About a week later i get a letter off the old bill about failing to report a accident and a load of agro.

at 120mph it fooking is lol

 

Not a mark mate lucky or what.

 

Madness mate.

 

Mine did it at about 100 mph,after it started coming away previously at 140,was wandering what my lass was doing holding on to the roof lol. Had a look and roof was rotten where it screws into next to the gutter holes. Ended up having just a sunroof in that did not open.

 

Or dear it could have been worse.Is the paint work ok.

 

bloody hell, crazy mate.

 

christ could of turned out nasty that mate

 

Wow, lucky not to damage your car and even more lucky it didnt hit a following car oh and another slice of luck as it was a sunny day, how lucky you are.

Did you find any bird shit on your car today, or the days leading up to the event? my nan always used to say, "muck for luck"

 

ooh not good. i opened my s2 up on the m5 early one evening but backed right off after the sunroof began to sound like it wanted to do the off... close shave that one

 

Done the same in my '3i.. Took 3 Months to find a decent replacement

 

haha same thing happened in my old crx scares the livin shit outta ya!

 

Around 3 years ago at RS Combe I was around 50 yards behind a Red FRST at
the fastest part of the circuit when his sunroof flew off and went probably 60 feet in the air
luckily it landed on the grass to the side of the track.

 

I can just imaging your lass screaming slow down!!! lol.

Think my sunroof must of been rotten.

 

There isn't a scratch anywhere its like someone from autoglass has come round and took the sunroof out and not put one back in lol.

 

Yes was fooking super lucky it didn't hit a following car,

I hope am lucky enough to find a mint sunroof lol.

 

very close mate i would take it out and check its not rotten!

 

i will do mate, should of checked it last time thinkin about it... i know it needs work around the sunroof anyways..

I'm sure someone on here said they had a couple of sunroofs, I'll see if I can find the thread.

i thought you had to remove your sunroof to fit in your car.

 

Lost mine in the same way in 2006 luckily it didn't rain on the way home

 

i have a sunroof for sale

 

is it a minter?

 

it has being sat in my garage for a while i will have a look and let you know

 

Yeah mate nice one, hope its mint

 

You can fit one from a mk5/6 mate, there's a fitting guide somewhere on the net

 

fuck that!! ive never known the sunroof just to take off. i take it it was open or in tilt position?

 

thats could have seriously fucked someone's day up lol

 

It was closed mate, it just decided to fuck off lol.

 

Will have a look mate, never knew that though.

 

Yeah MINE!!!!!! lol

 

this happened to me in my old white s2 at 120, unfortunatly my mate following in his mint e30 couldnt avoid it

 

Oh dear! ooops, bet he wasn't pleased at all

 

no he wasnt too impressed lol, was gonna cost me a bonnet
headlight an grill but the nob rolled it a week later anyway, in near enough the same spot
