Please Help! 2001 S40 Sunroof/Sunscreen Problem
Hello. I just recently bought a used 2001 S40 with a sunroof. I have never had a sunroof or moonroof before and am not very familiar...
I closed the sunscreen first (noticed in the manual afterwards that I shouldn't have done this...), then I hit the button to close the sunroof. It made a loud pop and now it won't close.
The sunscreen has 2 clips in the front that I can see and I popped those back in place but I can't see anything towards the backside. The buttons inside work, it will open (not sure if it even goes back all the way or not at this point) but when I close it, it will stop a few inches before fully closed and get stuck with a loud pop. The back of the sunroof at this point is at a much lower position than the roof of the car. There is also a black curved metal bar that is completely detached from the sunroof that I found towards the front side of the sunroof...
Is there any way to fix this without spending $1000+ at the dealer? If there is no easy way of fixing it, would i still be able to close the roof manually? Any information is appreciated. Thanks in advance for replies!

Like i mentioned in my post, I am not familiar with sunroofs at all. None of my cars have ever had them. I didn't think it would matter if the sunscreen was closed or not before I closed the sunroof. I wasn't trying anything different or weird.. just wanted to close it. It was my first time in the car that day too..

Sunroof Glass Replacement
Hello all,
I stumbled upon this thread since I recently had my sunroof glass shatter. The detailed instructions are great, but I did have a question regarding the glass replacement for my 2001 Volvo S40. Is it really as simple as the detailed instructions because I've searched everywhere and there is additional instructions regarding 4 screws and 2 C-clips that must be removed and I do not see that anywhere in the detailed picture instructions. Is there a specific way of just replacing the sunroof glass?
Thanks to everyone that has helped me in the past. Chris.

Beccs125 - pls start a new post when asking a different question from the original poster's query. My suggestion is to bookmark volvopartswarehouse.com if you want to find odd OEM part numbers and dealer only parts.
