Hi All,

Noticed on my sunroof, as it goes back there is a rattle and clunk, though the sunroof seems to work ok. Is this something that may lead to problems in the future?

Re: Sunroof

It is more than likely the groaning because the amount of fuel the car uses.

Re: Sunroof

Hi Spider time for a service..lots of dirt collects off the roof in the slides and packs tight when dry..messy job as you have to stand on something firm over the centre console and have a catchment cover over the seats to collect the droppings.....

Hi Spider,

The one you rode in in Dubai made similar odd noises, I opened up the rear compartment that houses the motor, and the hose which the cable runs through had come loose, I repositioned it and that sorted things out. Open up the rear section and operate the roof to see if that's where the sound comes from...attached is some help..

Re: Sunroof

Seeing that you know how now, wouldn't you come up this weekend and fix mine. Just pick up my bullbar on your way please. It is going to be scorching hot, plenty of lobsters and crabs at the moment, and I just got a new speargun, so there might be a few sea bass on the table too.

when you get your bull bar - remember to get the tool that comes with it!
