Re: Sunroof vent position 700 88

BT: Just to add to Shatz's posting: the roof-retract switch is a 2-position rocker switch.(1), If you put your finger at the very TOP of the switch and push it IN, the roof should open to the vent position, which is just the rear part of the roof going upward, the rest of the roof doesn't move. To close the roof while in the VENT position, push the BOTTOM of the switch. (2), With the roof CLOSED, if you put your finger on the BOTTOM of the switch and push it, the whole roof slides back. A lot of these older roofs get *cranky* (pun intended), don't want to open or close correctly. One of the most common problems, other than one edge or side being higher or lower than the others, is that the little wind-flap, which is at the front of the roof opening, attached to the car itself, i.e., it does NOT slide rearward, it merely pops up--or should--when the sunroof is retracted, it should pop DOWN when closing the sunroof but doesn't...it keeps the sunroof from closing all the way. I usually have a large-ish pocket knife in a holster on my belt, so I use the blade to hold the windflap down while I hit the TOP of the switch to retract the open sunroof. Give it a try! --PD.
