Are These Common Problems

[icecoolpsycho]

Just been hit with two problems today. Are they common and is it going to cost me a fortune to fix lol

 

i) I think the sunroof has come off its runners or something on 1 side. Opens okay in tilt mode but wont budge on one side on the way down. Wont open at all in retract mode.

 

 

ii) The windscreen wiper control arm keepings popping out of it's ball joint.

 

 

Any ideas

 

Kind Regards

iirc the wiper problem has been posted on here before and a fix do a search,

sounds like the sunroof problem you have was the same as mine.

the sunroof works on a worm either side and sounds like yours is kaput,as far as i remember you will have to take the lining down there are instructions in the faqs or if you have the patience to search for my post about 5 years back on the subject.

That problem with the wiper arms comming out of the ball joint (under bonnet) i rectified mine by drilling out the ball joint and replacing it with a bolt (not to long so it doesnt pretude and catch anything) and a nyloc (nut), i also placed betwwen it a Neoprene washer and grease to help it and yes 3 years later it still does the same perfect job Hope this helps
