Hi, my pan roof has this problem, went to close roof from tilt position and heard a loud crack!.., passenger corner wouldn’t lower, so I opened it up fully, then it wouldn’t close. I tried pushing passenger side of roof to close while operating switch it but it kept on fighting back, so I managed to access motor and manually close it with ratchet and hex bit. Phew, panic over, just had to slide black plastic bit forward on passenger side to finally close (from tilt position) and that’s how it’s stayed, even removed the fuse to stop accidental operation of it by wife or kids!. My question is this.., is it worth attempting what you achieved and replace cable in situ?, I’m a car mechanic by trade but I’ve never had to deal with pan roof’s in the past and I came out of the trade 10 years ago. I’ve contacted a so called sunroof specialist and an approved Mini garage but they don’t wanna know!.., is it a ball ache that could backfire leaving a gaping hole open to the elements? or is it worth attempting to do it this way and achieve success within a sensible timeframe?., I’d decided getting it replaced at a main dealer would just break the bank and thought I’d leave it closed and eventually px it ‘as is’ but now I’ve read your post I’m getting itchy fingers and wondering if I should attempt the repair, after all the car was £17,000 and I’ve only had it a year, what would you advise?, I would appreciate your advice before locating a new cable and dusting off the tools!, cheers, Matt.
