It sounds like the left side motor or mechanism is not operating for whatever reason. If you can gain access to the left side motor or mechanism, perhaps you can remove the motor, and then turn the mechanism manually, in order to close the sunroof? Hope this helps.

    I would imagine that you would have to remove the headliner to gain access. That would be the only way to get in there. Unless there is a place to install a manual crank in an event where the sunroof motor fails. I have seen this before, but I forget which car.

    On your particular car, I have no familiarity, but I don't think it will be possible.

    im searching for help on a 2004 megane door mirror. Point. I used to have a clio an the same thing happened. This is probably not the motor. the french do things their own way. the cables for each side of the roof are bonded to the the pulleys, one has simply popped off. however, this isnt a cheap replacement. I was quoted £465.00 (stupid amounts by renault) for a bare assembly. i searched breakers yards and found a guy in the north of england who would post me down for a couple hundred quid. price encluded the glass as easy to break when seperating from the frame work.

'06 Chrysler Pacifica w/sunroof: When it rains water is leaking out of the front door frame covers and sun visor screws. (Sun roof is closed.)

hi i'm not familar with your car but if you can wind the sunroof back so the sunroof is fully open look at all four corners where the sunroof sits into there should be at least 2 drain holes which can over time become clogged with debris, if you find them use some warm water and flexi pipe to clean the drain holes out. hope this helps

Hi.
I was having trouble with my sun roof on a 2004 Montecarlo. I had two issues water coming in and would not operate fully. I could toggle the switch and it would not move very far. this is what I found. I started to pull down the lining and saw that the motor was in front of the sun roof.
I found the drain lines on the front side corners of the tray around the inside of the sun roof. I found that the tube ran down the pillar's and out between the door hinge's. I took them off and blow them out one was plugged up. That fixed the water problem. The roof would move with help from me pushing. I got it opened and noticed the grease was hard. I cleaned up the grease and removed most of it with WD40.
Now the sun roof works good as new.
I thought the water problem was because the roof was not fully closed but I guess it is designed to have water pass by the roof seal and have it drain away. I always noticed water under the car after a rain or a car wash but did not realize iit was the sun roof draining.

Hi, if it's an electric one, if you take out the interior light to gain access to the motor you should see an Allen key slot in the motor. By winding it the correct way it will lower your sunroof back into the closed position.

Front sun roof leaking could it be the drainage pipes ,does the drainage pipe come down by front wheels,could i blow with air line?

Generally with the sun roof, If you open it and look in from above, If the drainage is blocked you will see excess water that wont go away. If there is no excess water then the chances of it being a blockage are minimal, its more likely to be a gap in the rubber seal allowing the water to seap through to the interior. If it is the seal, which i guess it is as they crack over time, then these are generally quite cheap from your local motor store.

05' lincoln navigator sunroof won't open and motor makes noise but nothing happens?

The motor is stripped out. The sun roof might be binding on the sun roof track and the motor is not strong enough to move the roof. I would first replace the sun roof motor if available seperately.
You mihgt have to get the complete assembly because of part availability

Renault Clio sport R Reg - leaking manual sunroof

word_answers.gif Betta Windsrceens Stockport have been repairing sunroofs for 30 years. What i will tell you is both the mk1 and mk2 clios have a problem with the sunroofs.
The sunroof needs to be taken out cleaned damming seal on frame removed and fitted back with silicone sealer excess sealer clean of with white sprite no need to remove head lineing if fitted with 10 mm bolts use a ratchet spanner. Mk1 clios also leak from the arial remove and reseal. And mk1 & mk2 have a problem with the bulk head filling up with water. Open bonnet on the back of the bulk head is a hose about 6 inches long which gets blocked un block and the water can drain like it did the day the car left the factory. bettabob
