Hi, I've just bought the Missus a 03 reg Td4 Kalahari, It drives lovely but has a few issues that I am going to sort out one by one,

Sorting out vcu at mo but next on list is sunroof,

When I bought it back of sunroof was raised a bit, and sealed with gaffa tape,(still trying to get remanants of that off) and the motor was unplugged,
I plugged motor in and it seemed to sound ok except for clicking at end, sunroof doesn't move back or forward at all but lifts up in one corner,
I can see clip moving back and forward on one side.

you can move the sunroof about a bit by hand and it looks loose in the frame

It wont shut completely even by turning screw in motor

Ideally I would like it to work, but if not at least shut tight,

on ebay you can buy a sun roof kit, you get 2 rails, 2 gears and 2clips/feet for about £25,
Is this what I need?,

if anyone has fitted one, please could you tell me how,

Thanks for all help and advice,
Cheers, Bill (Newbury, Berkshire)
 
Very common fault with the cable bracket breaking on one side , The new repair kits on ebay look ok give it a go and let use know how easy it is ( or not ) , Mine has been shut down and fuse removed for about 8 years :rolleyes:

You can remove the plastic side trims inside & remove 6 torx screws & sunroof glass will pop out ( will most likely be rusty too :frown:)
 
Hi, Thanks for the info, I've ordered the more expensive kit from germany (£43) as it had more bits with it and seller had better feedback, Will let you know how I get on, Cheers
