Sun roof



  • sounds like i'm lucky not to have a sunroof!

    air con ftw.



  • Mine opens when you slam the door (like Jezzas Porsche on Top Gear) :lol:



  • Hate you barry!, without going off topic, snaped key in rear boot lock, think its because i always use the key to lift the boot up. Doesnt really matter got loads of keys! just need to get bit out of lock. Shame no one can make a key of a stronger material?.

    But usually if they close or open very slowly or seem to jam its usually loads of sh*t in the runners and they need greasing regularly, try a bit of wd40 in it to start, if it works, find a decent silicone grease and smother it in the runners, keep opening then good coat, close then open again and repeat 2 or 3 times to get it in there properly.
    Use silicone grease only, if you use the white duckhams stuff or similar it holds on to the dirt and grit and dries out making it worse in the long term.

    WD40 is only good for the short term it soon wears off if used regualarly but is very good for loosening sticky electric windows
