Magnetic foil replaces the sunroof seal
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to inform you about my application of your magnetic foil:
Problem:
The sunroof on an old Audi 80 (built in 1987) no longer works properly. It can no longer be closed completely (approximately 2-3 cm remain open at the front). A repair is not worthwhile because the entire headliner and the sunroof would have to be removed (costs EUR 400-600 based on a vehicle purchase price of EUR 700). Since the car isn't considered a valuable classic car, and I only plan to drive it until the next MOT (November 2013) anyway, I was looking for an inexpensive solution to prevent rain from penetrating the car.




Solution:
I have 1 m of your Magnetic foil black coating, width 615 x 0.85 mm, running meters ordered. After simple cutting with a standard cutter knife, the foil was applied and extensively tested during a long motorway drive. Luckily, we also caught a thunderstorm, which allowed us to test its tightness. No complaints!
Advantages of this solution:
- Very inexpensive
- Still looks reasonably good
- Can be removed at any time without damaging the paint, unlike adhesive film or filling
- Because of the easy removal, the original condition can be restored in the event of a sale or a possible repair
- Restored
- In extreme heat (rather rare this summer), the film can be removed and the sunroof opened
- Since we often park the car in a parking lot for a few weeks when we go on sailing trips with our yacht, we no longer have to worry about rain getting in.
Disadvantages:
- The only thing that comes to mind I'm concerned that the film could potentially be stolen due to its easy removal, but thanks to the low price, this would be bearable.
I would like to thank you very much for the prompt delivery of top quality and wish you continued success!
