sunroof not sitting correctly after closing!

posted by  someone claiming to be Duncan on  Wed Dec 14 17:50 CST 2005 [RELATED]

When I close my sunroof from either the vented or open position, it does not sit flush with the roofline all of the way around. The rear right corner sits below the roofline and creates a gap that water seeps into. It can be pushed back into place by pressing up on the glass from the inside, but then it settles down again after driving over a few bumps. Whata going on? My 96 850R is absolutely perfect otherwise!!

    Your screws are loose! :)
    I have been wanting to say that for a long time. Easy fix. You just might want to take the sunroof out and wax all of the painted parts before adjusting it.

      I took the little black scissor pieces out and examined everything. The Torx srews that hold the glass in place are tight, its a problem with the hinge that lifts the roof up to the vented position. Its strange because I cannot find any screws that would be loose near this hinge, and the sunroof is solid when its vented, but loose on the right side when its closed. Am i going to need a new slider/rail thingie for that side?

        Sorry for not getting back sooner. I cannot work on mine because of the weather, cold. The rear can be adjusted up and down. Not the sissor part, but the torx screw on the right rear that holds the roof on.
