Does anyone know if there's a separate part number for these? As far as I can see on EPC it's only available with the glass panel attached, and mine's manky :(

Hmm, I might have a brand new seal for a steel sunroof in my collection - I might be persuaded to sell it, because I don't think my black MG 1600 will need it anywhere soon.

There is but they were NLA a long time ago. Last one fetched over £100 on Ebay.

Hmm... NLA doesn't always mean abandon all hope though. It's surprising where these things can turn up with a bit of research but having a part number helps.
I wonder how the steel sunroof seal differs from the glass one, or whether there's something that could be used as a substitute.

i have 3 sunroof glasses with the seals on them. I got them from scrap yards when i had turbo 237, which i got a new glass for FOC from a local windscreen place that was getting rid of old stock.
You are more than welcome to come and take alook, though i am in northamptonshire.

Thanks, Ross. It might be possible to do something with the existing seal but if not and I can't track a new one down, I'll be in touch.
EFP 10001??
Mine is in a similarly dreadful and afflicted condition. I was nosing round a Corsa Mk1 the other day and thinking how similar the sunroofs were, in particular the seal. I have to agree with Beaker, they are expensive when auctioned! I remember fitting a new one to Bob Simons' sunroof years ago, he got his from a dealer but that was way back in 2001 and I believe it set him back £41.

There was a seal on ebay for a metro and I was wondering if it would fit my glass sunroof on my montego. I just left it just incase it didnt fit.

If it's just simply gone grey with age it can be very effectively dyed back to black simply and cheaply, having done that with the one on my MG Turbo. If it's physically damaged then that is of course a different problem. I'm pretty sure a specialist in automotive glazing would have a few tricks up his sleeve to either rejuvenate your original seal or replace it with something modern, better and longer-lasting.
