vibrating_Cake Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 i was cleaning the car today.... (yes... cleaning it... first time for everything eh!) and i realised..... the sunroof on the capri, doesnt ONLY lean up a bit.... if you stick ur finger up into the gap where the handle goes when the sunroof is open/closed, theres a little tab, flip this and wind the winder again... the sunroof fully opens!!!!! i never knew that!!!!! omg! =)
andy a Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Do you think the "tilt and slide" name has a very big clue in it...
Stu_B Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 I didn't know you had to flip a tab? I'm sure my capri's sunroof opened fully all the time. I remember picking some mates up from a night out & I had my bike in the back... 3 of us in the front, one in each seat & the third sat on the centre console with his head out the sunroof
vibrating_Cake Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Posted June 22, 2009 yeah, i didnt know they slid! lol in my sig i have it open, thats how i thought it opened all the time!!! slightly lifted at back. but waaay its a propper sunroof now, im chuffed! haha
Copey Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 yeah, i didnt know they slid! lolin my sig i have it open, thats how i thought it opened all the time!!! slightly lifted at back. but waaay its a propper sunroof now, im chuffed! haha you are lucky it didnt scratch the top of your sunroof, most of them scratch
OldskoolSue Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 On my capri it only slides,it has no tilt.
4parajon Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 I dont have the bottle to "slide" mine anymore, the last time I did it it took ages for me to close it, think there was something wrong with the mechanism as the handle was spinning round but it was'nt closing and I was flapping big style. Managed to close it in the end, but only have it on tilt now
stevepeanut Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 yeah, i didnt know they slid! lolin my sig i have it open, thats how i thought it opened all the time!!! slightly lifted at back. but waaay its a propper sunroof now, im chuffed! haha you are lucky it didnt scratch the top of your sunroof, most of them scratch yes be very aware of that, I only tilt mine now, and never slide it cos of scratches, a lad who looked at my car said its tiny bits of rust from inside the roof and it scratches the sunroof as it goes in
caprinerd Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 all factories fitted sun roofs on the mk3 have tilt and slide and 90% catch and scratch, mine dont i admit but most do
NginEEr Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 fiestas are one better they tilt and lift out
Fiesta Steve Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 fiestas are one better they tilt and lift out You get a bag to put it in the boot
MG-Ford Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 To get mine to slide I dont need to flip a tab though. Just wind it the oposite way to tilt. Or am i getting something wrong here?
bortaf Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Don't worry you aint the first to miss the switch lots try and force em and break the handle they ALL tilt and slide, or did when they were first made, if one aint doing one or tother sumink is wronge with either the mechanism of the user
