Guest petercabrio Posted November 8, 2015 As it says, the sunroof has opened and now won't close I am guessing switch or fuse Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted November 8, 2015 Try gently closing it with the alan key slot in the motor, you just have to remove the interior light to get to it, If it closes ok you will know if it is a motor or electrical fault. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vonslack 10 Posted November 8, 2015 If it has got stuck sliding open as opposed to tilting open it could be the little metal hook guide bracket thing has broken on one side. This is what is wrong with my sunroof, a common fault. You should be able to get it closed by pulling/wiggling the sunroof closed gently whilst operating the sunroof switch. Once I got mine closed I pulled the plug out of the back on the sunroof switch so I wouldn't get it jammed open again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted November 8, 2015 Be very careful when trying to close it! Watch the exterior panel doesn't rise as its being slid forward, or else you'll scratch it all as it raises up when the mechanism is broken! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest petercabrio Posted November 8, 2015 Mechanism is fine, retracted it and it works fine with the handle The second time it opened but not closed, reset with handle, now it won't moved at all,but a relay is clicking in the motor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 44 Posted November 10, 2015 I'd be considering the motor now. Either it's had enough, or it's out of synch with it position and the mechanism. I purchased a2nd hand one and it just clicks(i was ripped off)Fitted a mk3 golf ones to mine as it's the later rectangular plug type, and all works fine. Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SR_Neale 10 Posted November 11, 2015 Did you just use the motor or the whole mk3 mechanism? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 44 Posted November 11, 2015 I've got that motor on an original corrado mechanism. Works fine. And for that price a bargain as I was ripped off for a faulty unit and now the seller ignores my texts w****r. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
