Internal panoramic sunroof trim

M

Malky

Hello to all, I am in need of some information. We have a 2016 Sterling Eccles Elite 645. I am looking for an exploded view of all the internal trim parts for the panoramic sunroof. I feel that there is something missing on ours as we can see the insulation wool of the roof. I hope there is someone or some AWS Engineers on that can provide me the information. Thanking all in advance.

Is it possible that there is actually nothing missing but perhaps the construction was not brought together during manufacturer, or it has separated at a later date.

Just a thought.

Does this set of photos help at all. Must admit seeing so much insulation does not strike me as normal.

Can you find the same model at a local dealership and have a look?
I vaguely remember reading a similar issue on a Swift owners Facebook group. I am not on it any more but if you are on FB a search may throw something up. From what I remember the poster had gone back to the dealership who had said it was “normal”. Strangely enough the poster was not in agreement with this assertion.

Thanks for info but does not help. I would need to see the local area on the inside around the sunroof.
 
Still reaching out there to any one that can supply pictures of the internal view of the Panoramic sun oof or to an kind AWS Engineers with access to exploded views and if needed part numbers.
 
Perfect. I’m looking for a close‑up to identify what is missing, but I do appreciate all help offered. Keep it coming, Please. 🙏
 
No idea if this is any help but I just went on Leisure shop direct and searched for roof lights. Found at least one exploded diagram although it clearly wasn’t your sunroof.
Just wondering if digging about on spares sites may provide something fruitful

Is it when you look upwards at the panoramic window? We had a 2016 Swift Challenger 580 and on that you could see the insulation poking out from behind the panoramic window trim at the lower edge adjacent to the front window. I just poked it back up but it did drop down occasionally.

Thank You, But this is not a roof light. It is a sealed Panoramic sunroof. Specific to Swift/Sterling caravans. I do appreciate people's help?

Yes, very similar, as per pictures attached earlier. Again, a massive short cut if this is a genuine case. Build of caravans on the surface look good but dig deeper and they are so poor!

Pretty poor, out of sight out of mind. a small bit of trim and it would be much cleaner. am going to try and find a foam seal or trip from seals and Direct to better finish off? Thanks for clearing up my conundrum.
