I need to replace my sunroof seal but can anyone tell me, are these straight forward to fit or is it best left to a professional?

straight forward. tilt the sunroof up. Unbolt the sunroof from the brackets (torx iirc) then pull the old one off and push the new one on. simple.

They are fairly easy to fit but you will need to remove the sunroof first or you will get really pissed off with it and end up damaging the new seal (like I did!).

Ill dig out the link for when I got mine....

Buy one piece seal, not two piece. Much cheaper.

Thanks Guys, I remember the single seal being mentioned before so I have made sure that the dealer has ordered this one.
