2001 Jaguar S Type 4.0 Sunroof trouble

To whom it may concern:
I have been trying to get my sunroof to close. I keep hearing snap/crack sound when the sunroof is trying to close completely. But it wouldn't just shut fully. I even tried to get my sunroof to tilt open for venting purpose. It wouldn't. I am so frustrated because my car is brittle. I even try to open it and it also do pop/crack/snap sound. I have no idea what is wrong and I want to tear my car apart to see what the problem is but I am afraid to make a big mistake if I do it without any professional advise.

You have plastic gears in the roof mech that tend to chip and break over time.

Take plenty of photos as you go and take your time.

Im sure you will be able to find a solution .

SOURCE: sunroof will not close

If the motor is stuck, you can probably hold the switch to the forward position, and smack the roof. This may allow the motor to start working. I don't think there is any way to do it manually.

SOURCE: Sunroof Range Rover one side does not function

It has a broken slide rail and this will need to be replaced. It is a common issue. Big job, roof lining and whole sunroof needs to come out to access.

Why does the sunroof on my bmw not close ?

Hi,
It might be the sunroof switch that needs resetting,
Press open and keep button pressed till you hear a clicking sound, then press close and keep button pressed till you hear clicking sound that should have reset the switch.
tip

2002 Jaguar XType Sun-roof one-touch operations reset

I had this issue and found the solution around, worth sharing and it takes 30 seconds: <br /> <span> <li>Press the sunroof switch forward to move the sliding roof panel into the tilted position.</li> <li>Release the sunroof switch.</li> <li>Press and hold the sunroof switch forward until the sliding roof panel moves slightly. This may take 30 seconds or more.</li> <li>Release the sunroof switch.</li> <li>Immediately press and hold the sunroof switch in the forward position. The sliding roof panel will move down and rearward to the open position, and then forward into the closed position. Do not release the sunroof switch until the sliding roof panel has stopped completely.</i></li> <li>Your sunroof panel should now be aligned.</li></span>

Why will 06 jaguar s-type sunroof not completely close -stuck?

most likely they control mechanism is a bit stiff/dry , if the roof will move forward spray wd40 up each side runners etc go back and forwards a bit at a time ,this should lubricate the mechanism and hope fully save ypou having the roof stripped out to solve the problem

1996 Jaguar xj6 sunroof will not close you can hear motor running, how can you manual close it?

If you remove any gear that is coupling it to the motor you should be able to slide it back to where you want. I would put gear back just to hold it in place and keep it from moving. But you do have to replace that gearbox for future operation.

I have a sunroof that only works by holding the button down not automatic any more on a 2002 x type jag

That happens when you turn off the key switch, before the sunroof closes or opens at full, try this, with the key power switch in on, run manually full to open and return to close, then, exactly when the sunroof is fully closed, turn off at the same time the key switch, maybe you need to try more than once, must be exactly at the same time. good luck

My 97 xj6 sunroof is not working it is 1/4-1/2 in from fully closed can I manually close it last bit?

yes. that is if the cables are not completely shredded. your car came with a tool that sort of looks like a figure "S". the roof center panel in front of sunroof pops off. you can then fit the tool into the socket and manually turn until roof is closed. (you can find this info in the owners manual)

How do you time the sunroof motor

Open the sunroof and keep on pushing the open button for 10 seconds. Close it and keep on pushing the close button for 10 seconds. That should do the trick if every thing else in the roof is ok
