Need Help! Sunroof stuck open.... rain due!!

[k551 0]

Hello all.

 

I need help! My sunroof is stuck slightly open and I need to sort it before it rains again!!

 

When I press the switch, I just hear a clicking sound from the motor. i have removed the panel and checked all the wires but no luck. When it was working, it was moving freely.

 

Is there a way of manually moving it???

 

 

Thanks

You'll need to do a search to check for sure, but i'm sure i read that there is a manual winding mechanism under neath the sun roof trim!

it is in the manual i think but if not search on here as said below.

 

in short though, you take off the interior light panel and undo a couple of screws to remove another bit and then there is a supplied allen key (not like they expect it to break or anything ;)) which you use to then wind the roof back - its obvious when you see it :)

think the early and late are slightly different, the early one has a slot for a screwdriver with a spring pin in the middle of it, just push that in with the blade and turn

Thanks Guys. I have sorted it.

 

It was an allen key which you had to push up and turn ('92 VR6).

 

I think something had got caught on the rails. Once I wound it fully open it went back without a problem. I think a stripdown and greese up will be in order this weekend.

 

It can rain all it likes now!!!
