well for now, you can push the back upwards to get it started.

Usually it just needs some cleaning and lubing up.

You should look at getting a workshop manual, i cant remeber the link or where it is, but they are about :D

The sunroof mechanism on the FC has a very steep cam action - as they wear it can become a real PITA. You may find if you drive along at 50+ the suction of the air passing over the car will open it without the assistance of a well aimed thump ;)

My turbo II sunroof just needs me to push the button a little bit, then push the back of the sunroof up and then all i have to do is push the button again and it opens no bother.

Closes no prob too. Just give it a hand! Lol!:Giggle

You need some lithium grease, is what prof put on mine, just push the back of the sunroof to start it moving, then grease it up :) get it done as soon as you can, else you might burn out the motors
