The sunroof opened normally, but when I tried to close it kept reversing itself. Looked as though a rubber gasket came loose and is all jammed up between the glass and the shade. I got it closed for the night, but now I can't get the shade to slide open and the sunroof won't budge. How do I get to it? Take the headliner down??

That happens to my '93 all the time, in the manual it has a special side not about it because it happens a lot. What I do is shut the door and lock it from the outside and then unlock it start the car and try it again, I dont know if some of that is just superstition but someonwhere in ther I think some of the fuses reset if you do that, one time i tried that a bunch of times and it didn't work so I had to pry open the panel where the two over head lights are and turn this screw to close it again, good luck.

Check out Volvospeed. Click on the Repair/Maintenance tab, enter Bay13 and under Trim is an article about Sunroof removal and repair.

I had the *exact* same thing happen on my 96. I opened my sunroof on the interstate to wave to a friendly trucker who loved my Volvo so much that he wanted to get as close to the rear bumper as possible.

Apparrantly when I opened the sunshade, I slammed it and *one of the four spring loaded retaining clips* clicked and let the sunshade pop above the sunshade rail.

I opened the sunroof to it's open position. I pulled down on the front edge of the sunshade to bend it, allowing it to slide past the glass/metal sunroof. From there I pried the sunscreen forward until it was in the closed position with the sunroof open. I depressed the two front springloaded retainers, and pulled it forward until the rear retainers were visible, and depressed them as well.

The sunshade came out, and the sunroof closed, excluding one side of the "drip rail?"... If anyone knows how to reattatch this by the way, please speak up, as it's disturbing.

Hope this helps you in your quest for closednes.
