Specialty Repairs | Sunbrite Auto Works, Inc.

We pride ourselves on being on the cutting edge of our craft. From 3D printed repair parts to dealing with the new hi-tech material coming out, we strive to stay ahead of the curve.

CONVERTIBLE TOP AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEM REBUILDING AND REPAIR

Many convertible top failures are related to hydraulic leaks in the system. Most failures happen at the 7 to 9-year-old mark. The number of hydraulic cylinders in a car can range from 2 to 12. Replacement of these can run into the thousands of dollars. We diagnose your top system and rebuild these cylinders if needed. The warranty for rebuilds is 3 years, a year longer than replacements, and cost 1/3rd of the price of new. We can also diagnose problems with micro-switches, potentiometers and other top-related components.

3D PRINTED PARTS

The latest addition to the Sunbrite repair arsenal…3D printed repair parts! We have designed and printed parts to repair parts that the dealer wants to sell you very expensive assemblies to fix. Parts we have designed at this point include:

*Replacement gear for Porsche Boxster convertible top transmissions

*Repair part for the Mercedes C-Class interior broken door handle

*Replacement dash side window defroster vents for the Mercedes C, GLK class

*Gear for back and forth movement for the Mercedes SL(129 chassis)

We are always looking for other parts we can make to sve our customers money and add to our on-line store (soon to come).

SUNROOF REPAIR AND WATER LEAK PROBLEMS

Other things we deal with at Sunbrite are sunroof operations and leak problems. Sunroof problems and sometimes related leak problems are common. We work with both. Factory sunroofs are designed to align some water to pass by the glass. There is a drain system to deal with the water, and when working properly, works great. If your sunroof gets stuck, or you are getting water in your car from the roof, come see us for the fix.
TIP! If you park under oak trees often, the leaves can break down and clog the drain system. Try to avoid parking under trees. If you don’t have a choice, periodically try to remove the leaves from your roof, cowl panel and fender areas near door. You can open the sunroof and blow or vacuum the leaves from the sunroof track area. Come by and we can explain in detail or do it for you.
