microcat36 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi Does anyone know how to remove the sunroof, as a pigeon has smashed the glass and i will have to replace the sunroof, even if i could get it off and replace the glass with perspex just now, before the rain gets in. Many Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 What year? That must have been one haggis loaded pigeon. This is for a 92. Looks pretty involved, get the replacement part and do it right. . moonroof.pdf internal_trim.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microcat36 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Many thanks for your prompt reply, it as a Mk2 93/94,and the sunroof was tilted up and the pigeon hit the top front of the roof and then the sunroof smashing it, just as well leather wipes as half of it landed on the seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sunroof is jammed in the tilt open position. I simply want to get the top down so that I have a weathertight cabin; I don't care if the top operates. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks I do not know if this will help, but the manual shows how you use a tool in your kit for the car that allows you to manually close the sunroof. I surmise this is in case of such a problem as you have. Whether it will work when the roof is in the tilt position I do not know. There is a panel you take off up there on the side nearest the bonnet/hood and it exposes a set of gears with a notched recess for the cranking tool. Cheers! (hommage to the scottish bloke that started the post) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Before it got HOT out I would open the moonroof in whatever car I was driving on my way home from work/gym at night. With this car I tend not to since it seems to be struggling with it sometimes like the motor is bogged down. :( Yeah the the motor should have an opening for an allen that you can use to manually close it. I have only had to do that once with my aunts old Infiniti and it was so jammed it did nothing when I tried to close it. It was in the normal open position though. I am guessing it should still close even in tilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
