How do you remove the sunroof on a Jaguar?
(From memory): Open the sunroof about 9 inches. Then remove the three screws on the front edge of the roof. Close the roof to within about 1 inch of closed, then lift the leading edge of the panel while gently pulling forward. It should slide right out.
Where is the locknut on a Jaguar sunroof?
On the outside of the gearbox housing at the top of the worm gear is a threaded screw and locknut that controls the backlash of the worm gear. On mine, the locknut and screw had backed out over time, and when you ran the motor in the “close” direction, the worm gear would move too far and jam in the sector gear.
What to do when your sunroof Pops on a JAG?
The slope faces the rear of the car and with the adjusting screw in the wedge you can adjust the seal of the sunroof. If you get a pop sound when opening the roof the ramps (wedges) need to be lowered or moved forward by backing off the two nuts holding each of the tabs.
What to do if your sunroof isn’t working?
If you can get to it, try to operate the sunroof manually to be sure something isn’t jamming it (lack of lubrication, leaves, whatever). If it works with ease, you can pull the electrical connection off the motor to see if its getting 12v – if it is and isn’t working – time for a new SR motor.
