Title: useful sunroof tips
Post by: beast5680 on January 19, 2008, 10:27:57
whilst trawling the various forums i found these sites on LR4x4 in a thread about sunroof leaks and thought they may prove useful to other members with similar trouble :D

Stripping the sunroof is a relatively easy but time consuming task. On the D2 you can remove the sunroof assembly completely without removing the headlining but it is a bit fiddly. If you strip one side of the mechanism at a time (after removing the glass) then you can use the un-assembled bit for reference when you have got some spare bits left over - ask me how I know :oops:

Whilst the mechanism is out, it can be operated with a suitable torx bit to ensure that it opens and closes easily. Pics here http://rides.webshots.com/album/560965843pskmVW?vhost=rides


I just need to do the front one now.

One question, Why do you need a (or two) sunroof in a vehicle with climate control???
