Technical Argh typical fault: open sunroof!!

[navyeye]

So I've done a search and found the T key in the panel but I can't see where in the panel to put the key? Dies anyone have any tips? Thanks

Ps. Didn't make it obvious but my front sunroof is stuck open

My plastic key-thing has long gone, but I've used a multitool instead. The photo's a bit blurry - very difficult to see what I'm doing in complete darkness!

Push the key or large flat bladed screwdriver into the slot in the round thing to the right of the access-panel hole. You'll have to push the key against the slot as it looks flush to start off with, but will sink in as you press on it:

That's exactly where I'm putting it but the metal cover thing won't move and I can't get it in??!?

Thank you so much for posting the photo, it's very helpful.

Ok I did it!! But it opened the back sun roof!!! I'm
Trying to shut the front sun roof!! Is there another panel!?

 

[widemouthfrog]

From memory, yes, but there's no mention of it in the handbook. Tried unclipping the front courtesy light?

Awesome thank you both so much! It was behind the visor?! The whole roof is soaking wet so I have to fix that next. I have no idea what caused the roof not to **** after it opened perfectly fine this morning; very odd. And annoying!

Get a cloth or some kitchen roll, open the sunroof fully and thoroughly clean both the rubber seal and the underside of the glass. If it's not been used in a while, you can get moss growing around the edge of the sunroof. When you open it, this gets dislodged and then trapped between glass and seal when you close it again, preventing a full seal.

Brilliant thanks widemouthfrog I will give that a go. Tried to open it again today, it opens fine but still wont close, :bang:

Can you post a photo of it in the closed position, from outside, looking across the sunroof from a low angle?

Can you see which bit of the glass isn't seating? If it's not easy to tell, dry everything out then use a pump spray bottle (i.e. an old household cleaner one) full of water to spray around the perimeter of the sunroof. You don't need to soak it - just enough to get the seal wetted where it touches the glass. If you then open the roof and look at the underside of the glass, sometimes it's possible to see where the 'break' in the seal is.
