Hi all Im new on here but being into vauxhalls a long time just picked up a lovlely P reg 2000cc 16v and low and behold the sunroof didnt work so out with the lining and the roof stripped ,I found one of the runners had stuck well seized (tbh).
Well put it back in today and hey presto it works only problem is the back now sits up a bit is there any adjustment for this please :(

Racman, did you take the whole sunroof mech & panel out when you did this?
I've got a replacement sunroof (ebay of course) on it's way (off a P reg as well actually..), as mine gave up the ghost last August and one of the cables is snapped ,grrr
Just wondering which of the the bolts to remove to get the whole sunroof out first, before swapping the outside panel (mines black, the donor is blue). It doesn't look too bad from inside the car (already removed the headlining last summer when I was hoping it was just a loose screw on the motor),.

thanks

With the roof lining down, it can be adjusted by tightening/loosening the bolts on the sides of the frame, towards the doors.

To take the whole assembly down without taking of the "lid", unbolt all screws and nuts at the sides and back.

i have just had tis on mine last week i was lucky enough to still have my old sunroof mech from my last calibra l97 rot which was diamond black aswell so it was just a straight forward swap

I got mine done a month or two ago now, wasn't too hard really, only difficult part is refitting the roof lining single handedly without wrecking it!
