sunroof won't close completely[740-760/91] posted by Steve on

I am sure this question has been answered before, but can anyone tell me how to adjust the steel sunroof so that it will close tightly? I just bought the car and there is a gap of about 1" between the front of the sunroof and the roof, and the sunroof angles down a bit. As you might imagine, there is a little leakage when it rains.

If your guides are not broken then you may just be out of adjustment. Adjustment is accomplished by loosening a number of screws , moving the roof and re-tightening. A Haynes or Bentley manual will help you through. If you do need to remove the sunroof there is an easy method. Open the roof to the vent position. Use a screw driver or needle nose pliers to release the springs that hold the sunroof liner to the roof. Push the liner back into the space where the roof would normally retract. This will expose all parts, and adjustment screws.

Steve,
Don't know if this will work on your car...
I removed the hand crank and crank gear from my 240, and just pushed the sunroof down into place. Then replaced the pieces with the hand crank in the desired location.
