Default 850- sunroof

1993 850 Sunroof only opens 1 way- up- It did work previously going up and back. Bought a new switch on Ebay and it didn't change a thing. When I press the button for it to go back I can hear something click but the roof does not move- Not a big deal but can this be fixed easily-

Is it a single click or a repetitive click? If it’s repetitive, you may have a problem with the gears connected to the motor. Is it’s a single click, you may have detritus jamming the glass from sliding properly. If you can see the tracks, (may have to remove the glass), take a look at the tracks and the drain tubes to make sure they’re clean.

It is a dual action switch- If you press the top of the switch the rear of the sunroof goes up- if you press the bottom the sunroof stays horizontal and slides back. I can hear something when I press the bottom but nothing moves! How do I remove the glass and how do ! find the drain tubes!
Thanks for you help!

Check out this thread:
https://volvoforums.com/forum/showth...hlight=sunroof

Additionaly, there's a PDF you can find here:
http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/volvo_wo...techdocs.shtml
that covers the sunroof (and many more - bookmark the site!). I thought it would provide better detail but it's a bit lacking. The other PDF's are helpful to have on hand.
