780 Sunroof question

You should have the same sunroof as a 760 which is tilt and slide. Check wiring to switch and connections between switch and sunroof. Let us know what results you obtain as it is possible that one of the limit switches in the roof actuator is playing up. Also make sure that the actuator's earth connection is secure (under the cover for the actuator where manual handle would be if manually operated).

All the best, Peter.

Yep you are right.....the 780 has only the sliding glass moonroof. I read an old review of the 780 when it was first on the market and the reviewer claimed the moonroof on the 780 looked like a cheap patch on an expensive suit. I guess he felt it did not do the car justice.

That roof is not a glass one. First Volvo with glass tilt 'n' slide was 1994

All the best, Peter.

All our 780s in North America had glass sunroofs right from the start of production, 1987. As noted by someone else, it was slide only though. The other 700 series cars had slide and tilt steel sunroofs.

Thanks for that info Mike, seems none of the European ones had glass. I have a few in UK on my register, but they don't seem to have sunroofs even. Mind you I haven't seen the one near to me yet as it has only just been restored. The Dutch gentleman who comes over to our Main BKVs every year hasn't got one on his either.

All the best, Peter.

Thanks for all the reply. The roof is fine, then, since the 780 only have sliding roof :-(

But Peter, you are wrong. The 780 I was testing the roof on, definitaly had the glass roof (Norway). And the ones I have seen for sale in Scandinavia, all has glass roof.

Fine, another hole in my information has now been plugged, thankyou Per. I would rather know than inadvertantly give out duff gen.

All the best, Peter.
