Sunroof trouble (yawn)

Recommended Posts

The sunroof on my rado has been working fine until a month ago when I locked the car using the total closure from fully open. As the panel slides out to 3/4 of the way closed it seems to jump up a few mm, thus scratching the paint (bugger!). I can counteract this by holding the panel down, but it ain't the most practical way. Has anyone had a similar problem?

Just like to add, it's the water plate guide that's worn causing the scratching. They wear on the nearside first for some reason.

A lack of grease and frequent use of the tilt mode causes the wear.

 

Odd how the exact same components in the MK3 and Passat never break though.
