Hi All. The front of my sunroof seal looks like it has been given a good pecking by the local sea gulls. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement seal? All I have been able to find is that you have to buy the glass as well.

Regards
 
My gut feeling is that:
  • sunroofs might not be that different from one generation to another (is the Gen8 sunroof different from gen 7?)
  • sunroof hardware is likely shared between Hondas of the same generation. i.e. the rubber from a 2016 CRV might be exactly the same as a 2016 Accord
  • sunroof hardware is shared between export markets - US Accord sunroof = EU Accord sunroof (US prices are often cheaper)
  • once you know the part number, you can likely find it cheaper on Aliexpress
 
There was a recall for the 8th gen sunroofs, they corroded internally and the rubber became lumpy.
I had a sunroof in my 7th Gen EX but I decided that I didn't want to have the hassle of replacing one in the 8th as they seemed to be giving a lot of hassle.
You could try a breakers or see if the Acura TSX in the US uses the same glass panel.
 
Thanks for the replies. It looks like a bit more digging is required. Pity there does not seem to be anything on the uk market so it looks like Aliexpress is where I will be going.
 
Stellamon, Thanks. I just wish these spares were available in the UK. OH well, must not grumble.
 
No matter who sells it, most parts are still made in China.

I grumble when I have to buy "UK" parts, knowing these are from China, and essentially I'm paying for taking them on a roundabout world tour.

The car is a pleasure to drive though.
 
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knew the dementions of the mk7 sunroofs?

Can't for the life of me find one for the mk8 at all just want to see if they are similar as long as they are I can make the mounting places work (a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't) lol
