Mackenzie 6 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Drove to work this morning and tryed to open the sunroof (let the smoke out cause windows don't work)It had frozen somewhere cause when i opened it, it made a dirty great noise. Now, it still works fine, slides back and forth and tilts, but it doesn't "click up" in the final closed position. I had a look but i couldn't find any plastic pieces broken off or anything. Before i broke it, when it was shut, you couldn't move it at all, but now when it's shut, you can push the sunroof up and down with your hand about 3-4mm. Would i need a new mechanism or is there a cheap way of fixing it? It's getting on my nerves now cause it does not shut fully, and it's going to rain tonight and i don't want to get in the car in the morning to find out my leather is ruined.Please Please HELP. I need all the help i can get. Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 take the plastic cover off and theres a little allen key and try and do it by hand if it closes by hand then its the motor if it doesn't close then something (seal) ?? maybe stopping it? Link to post Share on other sites

stockers 1 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 hi, do you mean the glass is moving when you push it?if yes, open the sunroof on 'full tilt' then you will see a black plastic guide cover, slide that back (its in a 'u' shape so you will need to unclip it on both sides, the glass is held in by 4 screws that you need a special size 25 star shaped allen key to undo, they hold the glass in position so it sounds like one or more has worked loose, it usually takes a couple of times to adjust it correctly, but when you see it close (from outside the car) it should pop back into position without catching anywhere.hope this helps mate.

Mackenzie 6 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I tryed the allen key, it does the same thing as when you use the switch, so i'm guessing it's what stockers says. I'm going to try that tonight.I'll get back to you Phat vr6 if i need the parts. Thank you everyone for you input. Link to post Share on other sites
Samson 0 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 wont be a knackered motor as the sunroof does move under the normal operation.Probably a broken peice of plastic I would have thought unfortunately... Link to post Share on other sites
