405 sunroof

What year is it? Up to '93 or from? Does it try to open? ie does the motor work? Does only one side try to open?

It a H reg (91-92?0

The motor works, think the cable is snapped. I have heard this is a pig to replace, a few pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Stuart

I have a 405 H with a dodgy sunroof, the motor tries but produces hardly any movement, I think the motor needs replaceing, I've not bothered with it though. I could scan the relevant pages from Haynes if you like..

In both these cases it sounds like the cables have seized in their channels, due to water getting in. It is possible to change the cables in situ, but it won't last long. You both really need to remove the sunroof cassette and strip it down. Clean everything, and fit nes cables with plenty of lubrication. (I use a combination of copaslip and WD40!! However it is not really a DIY job, and it would take too long here to detail how to do it. I'm afraid you either live with it or take it to a garage to fix (about 3 hours to do plus parts).

I'm quite happy to live with mine.
