However, let’s look at some of the most common and recurrent problems along with the solutions. Sunroof upholstery Sunroofs are a fun feature to have but they can become a liability later. If your car is more than a decade (10 years) old, the upholstery fabric begins to wear away and requires sunroof repair. It could be sagging, begins to unglue or even fall down. The same thing applies to the sunroof unit. In either of the problems the entire unit needs to be dismounted, cleaned and prepared so that it can be re- glued. However sunroof repair is easier said than done. The process is delicate and requires expertise apart from being expensive. The most important features of this accessory that can drive up the repair costs are the fabrics and the custom units involved. Leakages in the sunroof This is one of the most common problems associated with sunroofs and the most annoying one too. If you do witness a sunroof leakage then it needs an emergency fix or it can be disastrous to the interiors of your car. This problem can occur if there is a clog in the sunroof’s drains or if the rubber seals protecting it are worn out. Fixing car sunroof repair problems is expensive and time consuming.
Cracked sunroof glass A shattered sunroof is more dangerous than a cracked or broken one. A key point to remember is that these glasses are made of heavy duty material and are tough but not unbreakable. If the glass is broken then replacing it is the inevitable option. If it is cracked then there could be some quick fixes available. However never leave it unfixed as it can interfere with the aerodynamics of the car and your car may end up being non-fuel efficient. Sunroof electrical supply The sunroof operating monitor depends on the motor for the power to operate. If it is inoperable then most likely the problem is with the power unit. Even though the motor problems are rare there is no cheaper way or DIY to fix it. Rattling noise while driving A rattling noise while driving is more annoying than the actual problem. It can be caused due to minor cracks or lack of lubrication in the sliders. More often than not it is a minor problem and can be fixed easily. Learn to identify the problem before heading out to get it fixed by the mechanic. It can save you a lot of trouble in terms of time, money and effort.
