A more helpful comment - the sunroof is pretty easy to remove to inspect the mechanism. There are 2 spring clips at the front of the sunroof cover - open these and push the cover backwards. There are then 6 torx bolts that attach the sunroof (3 on each side) - awkward to get at and a magnetic or gripping screwdriver would be useful, but not essential. Remove these and lift the sunroof out from above (2 people are useful here).
The mechanism is now easy to inspect and can be operated without the sunroof in place. There are quite a few fiddly plastic bits that may have broken or become disengaged and these should be identifiable on careful inspection. Or it may just be jammed if you're lucky.
Hope you get it fixed. |
Thanks....but mine is glass, so may have some subtle differences. I'll look tonight, assuming I get the bl**dy temp sensor swapped before it gets dark...
Like IT Ian, I LOVE my sunroof, and would never buy car without.....despite now needing regular and liberal applications of Factor 30 on my bonce....!!!
