Problems with full length sunroof.

I’m aware WD40 isn’t grease.

Its had WD40 sprayed into it as a lubricant for about 5 days now.

Its seized solid so I can’t get into it to change the mechanism.

If someone can tell me how to get into a seized roof so I can replace the knackered drive, that would be useful!

Aye that should slide out, you can refit the motor once you have the fabric freed but this isn't going to happen before Friday unless you're sad like me and work round the clock. The motor itself I believe is held in place by m6 bolts yes? Then either find your originals or get replacements with nylock nuts.

The motor is held on by two bolts. I can hear the retainers rattling around in the roof somewhere.

Ive quickly dropped the roof back in and fixed it in place while I sort out what to do with it. 

I’m off next week for a few days so I’ll have another crack at disassembly.

Cheers for the offer.

Due to take the little one to Alton Towers in April but, if it’s not sorted by then, I will have set fire to it!

Towers is 20 minutes from me, bringing the lupo? If so pop in and say hi, come see my openair
