adjusting sunroof?

Post by Dan224 »

I was out cleaning the car today and noticed there's a bit of a lip (about 1/4 inch) between the sunroof and the roof. It looks as though when its been tilted and put back its dropped too far. Is it possable to adjust the sunroof or is this just one of the quirks of 406 ownership? :roll:
By the way its a D9 exec.

Haynes Book of Lies.

I've never had a sunroof in bits but I imagine there are limit switches, presumably on the cam/wheel that the motor drives. I can't remember what you can see of the motor with the roof console off but if you get yours off maybe things will become more apparent. I'm guessing it's either been put back one or two tooth/teeth out or it's jumped - hopefully because it's been frozen shut or something, not because it's knackered.
