Sunroof motor burnt out! Help!

fontaine666 · 22nd February 2019, 14:12

Hey guys!

So I was opening the sunroof, it stopped halfway and wouldn't budge. Then the sunroof appeared to be smoking. Anyway, took it to a garage for fear of the whole thing combusting, the mechanic managed to stop the smoke etc but couldn't manually shut the sunroof with an allen key. So now I have a half open sunroof until I can sort it. Is this easily sorted myself?

Do I just need a new motor, and if so, does anyone know where I can find one? Don't seem to be having much luck on ebay etc...(I'm from the UK)

Also, is there a way of getting the allen key to work to close the thing in the meantime?

All help would be very appreciated!

Thanks!
