My 2Si has a sunroof and as seems inevitable it is leaking and scewing up my central locking. I'm about
to unscew the wind deflector etc to get a better look. Before I do has anyone any advice? Thanks

Don't yet. I had an identical problem and it drove me nuts. Finally, I got some sillicone lubricant spray
and sprayed it onto the rubbers of the sunroof and massaged it in well. This fixed it right away. You
should be able to get the stuff from a decent auto shop.

Mine works sometimes, and not others. I've had the switch out, and poked around in the roof a bit, but
not much more. Does anyone know how to get at the sunroof motor properly? Does it involve having to
remove a lot of trim? When my sun roof doesn't work, there is a clicking noise, but no movement.

Does anyone know what is making a buzzing noise from my sunroof control panel. At first I thought it
was a trapped fly but it goes off when I take the key out. Do they have electric flies in France? Who
wants a dull car anyway?
I have written to Tom to tell him that it is not an angry French fly in his roof console, but a dry bearing on
the thermostat fan motor. It takes IO minutes and a squirt of WD40 to solve this problem, if my car is a
good example. Follow the driver's handbook instructions for manual operation of the sunroof, and you
will be able to pull out the offending unit for attention. Of course, any help for Tom's alarm problems
would be greatly appreciated. I personally hate car alarms and feel that the immobilises and decent
deadlocks are the answer. Who takes any notice of car alarms anyway? I notice Tom was not arrested
or questioned by the authorities.
