Sunroof won't shut

Post by bray »

On my GPX, she's a standard sunroof and the problem only arose today, its will get to 3 quarters shut and stop and go back to half way, it's like something is stuck in the tracks.. any ideas ?

Yep, likely that the adjustment is out. There are 3 or 4 star shaped screws on each side that will need to be adjusted in all likelyhood.

    Other members have had issues with the plastic part breaking might want to check its not broken in any way



    The more I hear of theses plastic parts the more I think of organising a group buy ( buying 1 set and having them copyed )

    Had the same thing before... Turns out, its one of the tiny plastic "ramp" things that was broken and blocking the sunroof from closing. just completely broke it off and removed it.
