My 96 Land Rover sun roof is stuck open...how can I close?

You must dismount the sunroof glass, and then run the open an close operation until the cables are lined up. You will know when. Then install the glass back. Hopefully the plastic track is not broken.

turn ignition switch on position for 20 seconds then try to lock and unlock doors.if you have sun roof open sun roof fully then close sun roof fully. then switch off ignition switch then try to start.

Replace the wheel cylinder on the wheel where you see it leaking then bleed brake system you ought to be ok on your brakes. As for the sun roof sounds like part of the track system is stripped happens all the time on automatic shoulder belts you can hear the motor running but no movement.

CHECK YOUR FUSE. IF YOUR FUSE IS GOOD, THEN CHECK THE SWITCH, IF YOUR SWITCH IS GOOD THEN REPLACE YOUR MOTOR.

In most cars you cant manually open and close electric sunroofs.
Likely the problem is in one of the switches. little bit of water can make a mess of switches

alarm needs to be reset to the key fob thats all,

they are in the channel around the sun roof

the procedure for resetting the travel limits for the sunroofs of the lr3's is with the engine running, hold the sunroof switch to the open position until the sunroof automatically opens and closes and stops moving. this takes about a minute. i'm not positive that the procedure is the same on the freelanders, but it's worth a shot. if it doesnt work in the open position try it again in the closed position. good luck!

should be a seal issue, not mechanical. Is the roof opening/closing properly? If so, while open examine the weatherstripping and look for damage or abnormal wear. with power roofs, sometimes the movement wears down the sealing abilty pending on its usage or debris hiding inside.

I had same problem but under the interior light there is a manuel nut to shut the sun roof by hand
