1995 omega sunroof, wind noise and a slight leak.
« on: 22 August 2019, 18:55:58 »

Hi can anybody help? The wifes car's sunroof is closed according to the switch. Pushed the button in to reset it. Can hear wind noise on drivers side, and it is leaking slightly. The wife has never used the sunroof, living in Scotland for a few years meant the windows were all closed more than open. Where would be the best place to start please?  Does the old sunroofs have the manual overide the same as later models?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The sunroofs are the same across the range. Except the inferior FL ones have crap paint that flakes off.

Thank you. Will pop the cover inside and see if a screwdriver can be used to manually close it a bit more.

Open it fully and clean all the moss, rust and other shit out of the runners, edges of the roof and anywhere else you can reach. Do the same with it on the tilt. Lubricate the sliding surfaces with your favourite light grease and work it open and closed several times.


Then get her to use it occasionally so it doesn't happen again.
