BEECHBM69 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Gents, The outer seal on the sunroof (83 Coupe built by hatchsub) is starting to split around the front corner. I did a brief search here, and am sensing this is not something I'll be able to source from the dealership anymore.(I can't even find a part number for it anywhere.) Is there something generic and aftermarket that can be adapted? Any advice greatly appreciated! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEECHBM69 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) After some poking around on the interwebs, I found this: http://www.steelerubber.com/universal-wshield-and-backwindo-70-2860-52 Looks pretty close. I may have to spend some money and find out.

skishop69 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Are you talking metal moonroof or glass sunroof? Subaru never offered a glass sunroof, and if it's metal, technically it's a moonroof. There are, to my knowledge and searching, no factory seals left for the moonroofs. So yeah, you're stuck with searching all types of aftermarket seals to see what you come up with.

So yeah, you're stuck with searching all types of aftermarket seals to see what you come up with. It's glass, and factory. Part # appears to be 765412010. Some sites say discontinued, so I may trek down to my local dealer and see if there are any sitting on a shelf somewhere. The struggle continues........lol Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just saw this thread Dan. Give Backwoodsboy a PM or email him (not sure how often he's on here anymore). He is a subaru parts manager and a lover of anything EA81. If he can't find it it doesn't exist in subarus inventory anymore. Hows my old coupe doing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just had another thought....i know that Connie (bucky92) had an extra sunroof and gasket that we pulled from a sedan in PA years ago. In fact that sunroof she has is from the same car your 5 speed trans is from. At any rate it might be worth a PM to her to see if she still has that seal and sunroof and wants to part with it. Car had 74k miles on it and seal was in good shape if i remember right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEECHBM69 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thank you brother, I'll see if I can get in touch with them. The coupe still puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key. :-) It's the only one in my fleet I don't have to work on..........lol Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still on the hunt for one but they don't show up often and I'm spoiled from that one. Its gotta have a sunroof and power windows. Cruise i could do without but thats fun too.
