Sunroof repair

Types of sunroof panoramic roofs:

– Standard sunroof: they have one hatch on the roof of the car, which is either glass or metal, and moves up and back or only up (like a wing);

– Panoramic sunroof: there are two or three hatches, which are larger in area than a standard hatch (in some cases they cover the entire ceiling of the car), as usually the front glass goes up and goes back, and the other glasses/hatches only go up ( like a wing);

– Opening roof: with this type of system, the roof of the car itself is textile and opens back by means of sliding on rails, mounted on the columns of the car, as the roof folds automatically over or in the trunk;

The mechanism of the sunroof system can be driven by means of an electric motor/s or a handle, as the way of driving the mechanism has no relation to the structure of the mechanism itself.

What problems can arise, what are they due to:

– Clogging of the outlets of the sunroof system: the water, which normally flows in limited quantities between the seal of the hatch and the ceiling, is collected by means of special channels in a water collection plate, after which the water is led to the outlet pipes (outlets), located in the four columns (front and rear), which take it to the fenders and from there it flows outside the car;

– Leaks: apart from clogging the drains and overflowing the water collecting plate inside the compartment, the cause of a leak inside the car could be a compromised integrity of the cartridge itself or the water collecting plate (crack, breaking off a part of it), a broken valve (the place , on which the expansion tube is inserted to the plate) or removed/broken expansion tube due to an incorrect attempt to unclog or aging of the material;

– Failure to prevent: the main cause of problems with the mechanics of the system, related to the clogging of the expansion tubes, the inability to slide the normally moving parts of the mechanism due to a large amount of garbage in the system, lack of fresh and quality lubricant;
