You might have to pull the glass out then get it to go back.

 

better idea. I just squeezed the clips on the shade and remove it! I dont think it's going to be a pretty sight having to remove the glass (or maybe it's easy). Either way, she's rocking the open glass roof for the time being. I love these things, they're as finicky as BMW's. The Cavalier she had before just worked, now she knows how I feel 90% of the time

 

LOL glad it went pretty smooth.

 

What kinda trans fluid do you like to run? It's getting due for a transmission fluid flush. Before you hound me about flushing fluid on a 130k mile car, it had a new one installed at 111k

 

I believe that one takes the special fluid. Mobil 3309 But I will look it up to make 100% sure.

 

Checking the Vadis program yes it uses the Mobil oil.

 

not to hi-jack the post, but can i remove the front bolts to the sunroof and loosen the rear ones so i can get the sunshade out?

i'm changing the interior color and so far it's going great. i'll try to get pics, but i don't have my digicam [:@]

 

Maybe why not just remove them all and take the glass out it would only take 2 seconds more?

 

That's all it takes to get the glass out? Maybe i'll try to put the shade back in this way....

 

There should be 6 screws total holding the glass in but it is easy to remove.

 

Giggity.

 

it looks like 6-8 bolts holding the sunroof up and i think i saw 4 screws that hold the glass. i'll try it in a bit.

 

Okay - I have an 02 s60. Sunroof was rattling like crazy when shut only. It would not rattle when tilted up. WHen you pushed on the glass when closed, you could feel play in the mechanism. When you pushed on the glass when tilted, no play. All four bolts holding the glass on were TIGHT. No brackets were "unglued" or anything like that. I became convinced that the play in the system was simply related to worn rails or worn mechanism. I determined my only chance at avoiding major $$$$ to replace the rails was to loosen the 4 screws holding the glass to the mechanism that are behind the accordian things, move the rear of the glass to the lowest adjustment (toward the bottom of the car) and then drive with the tilt slightly actuated. The adjustment was to make the top of the glass match the roof when the tilt was slightly actuated.

Well, this did not work. when i finished, the ?(*&$#@! thing rattled in the slightly uptilted position. HOWEVER - it did NOT rattle in the fully down position!!!!! So now my rattle was fixed but the top of the glass was goofy relative to the top of the car. So I slowly started adjusting the glass upwards in the back, bringing it more even with the roof, hoping my rattle would not come back. i got it up to Volvo geek acceptable position with the roof, and PRAISE THE LORD - still no rattle!!!!!!!! BLESSED SILENCE on craterfilled minnesota roads on my thin as paris hilton 50 series tires.

So when all the usual forum fixes DO NOT FIX YOUR RATTLE, start playing with the attitude of your glass until your test drive is rattle-less.

A new glass gasket ($1XX from Volvo) or a new glass ($6XX from volvo) would probably reduce the amount of FINESSE you need to accomplish this fix. If anyone knows where to get these cheap, i would like to know.

 

Just bought a 2000 s80, there are two bars in the moonroof that are just laying in there. I don't know where they go. Please help.
