Sunroof will not open

Postby battleaxe » Mon Aug 17, 2009 8:55 am

Hi
I am new to the forum, I have tried a search with no success, sorry if these questions have been asked.

I have just purchased a renault megane 1.5 cdi tourer 05 model 99,000 mile dealer serviced on Saturday 15th, my problems are that the sunroof will not open( twin sunroof), it lifts up seems to stall then shuts back down again, tried all of the marked positions but it does the same, any ideas? Or is it bite the bullet and take it to the garage.

The other question is I have a new fog light to fit is there a guide of what to do to replace the light, drivers side.

Thank you for any help
Steve

this must be dependant on each car, i've never had to hold or press the buttons for more than 5 seconds to reset? oh well...

Thank you for your replies so far.

I have dried to reset with pressing the middle button for all types of time, but it seems to stall the motor then parks itself in the closed position, I have held some pressure to help it open and it did slide open with alot of stalling, then I had to hold the centre button and help it slide shut, the runners look clean, is thre anything else I should be looking at?

Has anyone got any help on replacing the drivers side fog light?

Thank you once again for your help

mine seized up when open once, used the hold button function to close and then would not reopen. Garage repaired it by greasing/lubing the runners, been ok since. hope this helps

Does sound like the runners to me, did you get any warranty with it? If so get it back to them but make sure that they use the correct lube / grease. Either that or you need to find out what the lube is and either get some and do it yourself or go to a garage where they'll do it for you. I'm sure someone will be along soon that knows what lube it is :-)

Thank you for all your help, the sunroof now opens and closes , after assisting the roof to slide open and closed spraying silicon lube at the same time on the runners. Thanks again

Can anyone help with the fog light installation?

Cheers

Steve
