Mk2 Golf Chat / Sunroof
Just replaced my sunroof seal on my MK2 and just wanted to check all is correct as its rather tight on closing the sunroof.
So where I close it -it almost pushes the top roof skin up, when I try to open it I have to give it a helping touch as it's that snug. Just wanted to know if this is ok with the seal being fresh or if it's deffo not?
Thanks guys.

Mk2 Golf Chat / 16v pulley replacement
Hi, would anyone have any idea where I could source the 2 pulleys attached to the water pump as mine are battered? Its a 1990 with power steering.
I cannot seem to source them online anywhere and wasn't sure if there was another variant available to use off another model?
Thankyou :(

Mk2 Golf Chat / Bushes
Just seeing if anyone would have some guidance on replacing bushes all round the car? I thought whilst its being stripped to shell I may swell go right through it :(
When looking for a full kit all I seem to get is the power flex poly ones coming up, would this be a good option or is there a more original one that's recommended?  Read a few people in the past finding the poly bush hard but I've never used them myself.
