So I drilled out the rivets that hold the pipework to the frame and manipulated it all the way through. I got it to budge a cm then just kept moving it back and forth. An hour or so doing this dislodged years of black s***e and eventually it all came out and moved freely over the whole length. I lined it up with the other side, rebuilt and re greased the runners and boom a working sunroof! Now I've got to try fit it on my own... then the headlining to repair  . Oh and Mark, I replaced your bespoke accelerator pedal  |
I'm surprised that was still there.
Great news that you managed to fix the roof i bet that makes you feel elated, it does me knowing it works just as it did for me that last time i opened it not knowing what was to come the next time.
Just to give you a bit more knowledge which might have contributed to the filth you say had accumulated.According the the sales guy in London when i bought the car, it had sat under a tree for 6 months while it's mature owner became ill and sadly passed away before the company he worked for took the car back.That might explain some of it?
