Evening to all .
Apologies if this appears to be an obvious , or even stupid question .
I'm new to the world of LR but been tinkering with Citroens for a few years ..

Just bought an '03 plate Kalahari for my better half .
The sunroof motor is sticking , in fact failing ,when I attempt to close it .
Found the manual turn head behind the interior light panel so it's closed now .

Question is .... Is it ok to spray the motor bushes with WD ?

Thanks in advance .

A. There is a procedure for closing the roof manually, but it assumes the sunroof motor works. On many other cars there is a crank handle that can be used to close a sunroof.
What you can try is this:
  1. Remove map lamp lens and bezel assembly from roof console assembly.
  2. On Coupes, pull sunroof opening trim finish lace away from roof console.
  3. Remove sun visor inboard anchor clips.
  4. Remove one screw on left side of roof console. Pull down on roof console and disengage roof console from left locator pin allowing roof console to hang down.
  5. With the roof console hanging down, disconnect sunroof switch.
  6. Connect a jumper between cavities "C" and "E" of sunroof switch connector to power sunroof open. Or...
  7. Connect a jumper between cavities "A" and "D" of sunroof switch connector to power sunroof closed.
If it does close, then it's the switch that's bad. If not, then it is the motor or cables. some cars had a problem where the cables and guide tubes would corrode and freeze up.

hope this helps
