S70 sunroof mechanism is broken

Post by Nathandu »

Hello All,

My sunroof mechanism is broken at the right front corner at the elbow where it supports the roof glass tilt up position (not sliding open position). that causes the right front corner of the glass roof not to close completely flat with the car roof. Therefore wind sneaks through and soon , not now, the water will go in. The scarp yard staff said the roof linen has to be removed and it is difficult to remove the complete mechanism in and out the car because very limited room to move around.

Has anyone changed the whole roof rail mechanism before?

Thank you
Nathan
