Whats wrong with my sunroof! I just can't repair it..

Recommended Posts

When I bought my car I decided to do the sunroof repair and my problem was that the cable guides had broken on each side. I stripped the whole assembly and to cut a long story short have an operational sunroof with the exception but with a couple of problems. Firstly the piece that holds the cables onto the motor assembly is cracked on one side. I don't think this is really a problem as the motor still goes up tight and the cables move the same speed both side when the motor is wound. I will replace it but don't think this is a problem for now.

 

The little arms that look like tiny handles don't want to go on. I have fitted them with the circlips and springs but the interior blind will not move forward when they are in place :mad: This has really baffled me and I've tried it with the metal panel out so I can see whats happening but the blind will come a certain way then just gets stuck about three inches from the front. I think brute force might be the answer but I don't want to break the 'handles' as they are fragile. If I remove them the blind slides forward nicely :roll:

 

Thirdly no matter what I do I can't get the roof to sit flush. It now sticks up slightly at the front which is very iritating when cruising at speed due to the wind blast. I am hoping that when all the rails and guides are working properly it will go back into place but I can't work out what the problem is.

 

Anyway its the little 'arms' that are really puzling me. Has anyone come across this before :?:

 

thanks!
