Title: Sunroof motor... ?
Post by Ian_T on Sep 20^th, 2008, 7:27pm

Ok, so I push the button either way, and nothing happens.. there are motor type noises, but nothing moves. Is this likely to be a stuck sunroof? If so, is it relatively easy to remove for lubricating etc?

Nothing is easy without a Haynes! ;)

Ian, This site exists largely because there was no Haynes manual produced for this model. Have a read of the first two articles on THIS page (http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q=Sunroof&sp-a=sp100172f5) and all you need is there. The most likely cause is a stripped drive cog in the motor which is explained in the articles. If you need a replacement put up a request in 'Parts wanted' and hopefully someone will have one available.

Sunroof motors regularly pop up on ebay.
