Golde Sunroof Cable Hinge Repair Kit
The Golde Sunroof Cable Hinge Repair Kit is designed specifically for OEM Golde sunroofs found in European cars from 1965 to 1985. These were a factory installed standard sunroof option for the BMW 2002 series, BMW Neue Klasse, BMW E3, and BMW E9 cars.
Crafted with durable materials, this kit allows for smooth and functional sunroof operation by replacing the weak plastic cable ends with sturdy alloy ones. Keep your vintage BMW sunroof in prime condition with this essential repair kit. The kit works with manual and electric sunroofs.
These ends slide along the alloy track in the roof:
- pulling/pushing the roof panel.
- acting as the fulcrum point for the rear panel hinge.
- engaging with a spring in the roof to "flip up"the hinge and complete the closing action of the panel.
Unfortunately these plastic parts break due to stress and old age, rendering the sunroof inoperable. New cables are available, but the plastic ends in these new cables seem to break more easily than the originals.
The Kit
We have developed a simple kit with precision CNC machined alloy pieces that enable your original Golde cable hardware to be salvaged and put back into use. The high quality metal parts will not degrade - providing a long-term fix for your sunroof.
The kit consists of
- Two anodized alloy end pieces
- Two sleeves
The two end pieces are identical but are assembled 'mirror image' in the application.
The kit is offered at $120, with parts to repair two cables (one sunroof). This is significantly less than the price of one replacement cable from Golde/BMW and provides a high reliability solution that will last forever even in extremes of heat & cold.
