Has anyone had to replace a sunroof rubber on an M35?

I've been giving the windows a workout over the past week and a bit and the rear rubber appears to have broken slightly :D

Anyone have a code/price on this one?

Hopefully it can be replaced with a cheap after market job, not sure how universal that size of sunroof is tho.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, the code in question is 91246-AQ020 (Lid Weatherstrip) Japanese Price would be approx 4,000 Yen, but with the way exchange rates are and the obscene markup Nissan Australia puts on parts prices, your guess is as good as mine as to what it would cost in Oz..

Thanks heaps for that, I will pop into Nissan and get a current pricing in the next few days.

It doesn't appear to be leaking water into the car so it's slipped down in the list of current priorities.

A little p!$$ed off it happened but considering as though the rubbers are probably 8 years old I can't complain, providing I can get a similiar run out of the new one ;)

I will have to download a copy of Nissan FAST via bit torrent but it won't run on my apple macbook pro :) I will have to use a PC.... shudder... lol

did you get 3 months warranty with the car?? maybe claim on that warranty for the seal instead of paying for it yourself. it IS a problem with the car, and dealers have to give that warranty by law.

if you have problems you have the law to back you up, ALWAYS supply the repair items to them in writing, dated and signed. that way you have the law to back you up if it all goes bad.

im had to do the same thing with my car, lucky it only required a threat to get them to fix the problem...........

The issue is only the rubber seal, as far as I understand it's general wear and tear but will do some more reading tomorrow.

I extended the warranty to 5 years but it's with an external company and not the actual importer/dealer whom I brought the vehicle off.

Once I have a read of the terms in the warranty I will have a clearer idea if it's something that is worthwhile pursuing or if I just get it fixed.

its worth at least asking them i rekon. they might just do it, if they spend a few hundred on your car, youll be happy and go back to them when you want another car. and they know this

anyway, good luck with it! its possible there might be places that make custom seals or replacement factory ones. OR there might be another nissan part that will fit it

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
