Volvo Repair: Sun Roof, sun roof, tweaked


Question
Phil,

Lately when I open my sun roof all the way I find that the cover will not close until I push down the air deflector located at the front of the opening.  It used to depress enough so that the lid closed back nicely.  How do I get it to function properly?

Thanks.

Answer
The tracks are just dirty and need cleaning and lubrication...hopefully. There are two arms that the sunroof contacts just before closing, these arms connect to the front deflector. Clean and lube those points. Sometimes they get a little tweaked and may need some minor adjusting by bending slightly. Make sure that the area is also clean.
