Ok well i thought the sunroof wasnt working because of my wiring but, when i took the motor off the sunroof i found that the wiring was actually fine and the fabric top was actually seized shut, so has anyone got any ideas how to get it un-seized

Iv tried pulling it with the motor out, but there is no chance on it moving that way...

I dont know if it makes a difference, but where the motor came out i can see two threaded pieces of metal and the motor looked like it turned these...

the rover type have a hole you can put a allen key into try opening and closing in by hand

[Tomf]

Where is this hole for the allen key?

Iv tried loads of stuff today and i got it to move about 5mm and thats about it lol

EDIT: iv found that the whole sunroof will move minus the two front corners, if that makes a difference...

on the center line of the roof at the back a round cover hides it

[Tomf]

thanks ill go have a look and see if i have one

[Tomf]

OK i just went and looked and i found that there was a part of the motor itself that would push in and you could turn the motor that was, however there is no chance that it will move like that.
