donbrame Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The sunroof on my Forrester will not retract due to the glass not dropping on one side . I have tried cleaning the runner and greasing but no joy. Last year it kept stopping when closing and I had to keep repressing the button. Any ideas ,also can anyone recommend a good independent garage as near to Windsor where I can take the car for service and repair ?

Gambit Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi mate welcome to the forums. And I can't give you a fix to your problem, but have you had a look to see if there is any damage maybe on the side that's not dropping down, like a little bit of plastic has snapped off and sat on the runners.

Jay762 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Wotcha and welcome - unfortunately same here - no sunroof - as Gbit says compare one side to the other look for something broken or bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin bradley Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Had a similar problem on an old car I had and found out that when my sunroof was open a small stone somehow got stuck in the runner . and with open and closing the roof only pushed it further back into the runner had to remove sunroof and clean the runners and must admit it was a pain in the but to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpisland Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hey guys, I made a real **** video explaining how i fixed this problem https://youtu.be/YlQ3jTIFJPE Long story short, if you pull it apart, there is a puller that is broken and so it cant pull the sled that lowers the corner of the moonroof. make a hole, put a paperclip piece in it, glue it, and it fixed it for me...

Dane Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I have the same problem just had the glass out and cleaning around that area. okenof the sliders doesn’t drop when retracting. Can the whole part be removed easily? I should be able to find a second hand one and swap over if it can. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
