The drivers side window would go down nicely, but would really struggle to come back up again. This is a cheap fix.
Remove the door card (remove hidden screw in door release catch, undo two screws under the door handle, remove the tweeter cover and there is also a screw behind there) and then gently lever the door card away.
Now use a knife to slowly cut away the foam cover from the inside of the door. You don’t need to remove it entirely.
With the window up look inside the cavity towards the door pillar. There is a rubber
seal in there -
The sunroof didn’t work and I thought I would take a look at it. Using the diagnostics
I checked that the switches were working -
I then happened to go into the BECM settings screen and noticed two things 1)The
sunroof was configured as “not present” and 2) My BECM is UNLOCKED -
My unlocked BECM showing the sunroof as “not fitted”. The EKA code was visible too (I’ve removed it in the screen shot).
I set the sunroof as present and wrote the settings back -
Now I had a jammed sunroof -
You can access the parts by removing the sunroof glass. Start by removing the plastic
trim pieces. Slide them backwards towards the boot of the car -
There is a bracket at the end of the rail, remove this as it gives you a little more room to slide the unit forwards.
Remove the clip that holds the gold coloured front support. Remove the plastic cover that goes over the guide cable.
Ensure that the sunroof mechanism is in the “vent” (tilted up) position -
This is the part broken on mine. No way to repair it. A new runner is £150 -
I’ve seen a complete sunroof cassette on ebay -
I disabled the sunroof on the BECM using the diagnostics.
