Ladies & Gents this is my first post so please be gentle.

This morning I attempted to close the electric sun roof on my 51 plate
freelander when it seemed to stick. I found that the roof would
continue to close with a little gentle pushing but will not land flush
with the roof.

It contines to open perfectly every time and starts to close before
stopping

Any ideas folk

John

My sunroof take two people 5 minutes to close and tie down properly, but
then it is a full length one.

Think you'll need a new side bar of yr sunroof.Mine had the same
problem.Open perfectly,but when closing one side needed help,and when it
eventually closed,it wasn't flush with the roof.
When I took it apart,seemed little part was broken off,which holds the cable
to the sliding part of the sunroof.
It's a very expensive part,which cannot be repaired.
Just saw a right hand bar on E-Bay UK.Think it will stay there for a couple
more days.
