Automotive sunroof repair and installation

A sunroof can add a bit of luxury to any model of car, and go a long way towards creating the ultimate driving experience that fellow motorists are sure to envy. Feeling the breeze flowing through your hair as the sunlight streams in through your sunroof, is truly something special.

Sunroofs are an extravagant addition to any car, but that does mean that they can be one of the more expensive automotive upgrades to select. Sunroof installation must be completed by professional automotive sunroof installers to ensure a high quality and long lasting result.

Along with professional sunroof installation, it is important to properly service and maintain your sunroof. If you are considering a new sunroof installation for your car, you should keep in mind some of the potential issues which may occur over the life of your sunroof.

Because sunroof installation is a specialty service, it is important to enlist an automotive expert, such as the team at Autolux, to assess the problem and carry out any required repairs. It is also imperative that you regularly service your sunroof, to increase the likelihood of finding and fixing any issues early on.

Leaking Sunroof

Whilst we all enjoy the cool breeze that an open sunroof provides on those hot summer days, there are certain times that you may prefer to block out the natural elements such as rain. But if your sunroof has a leak, this may not be possible. A leaking sunroof can cause damage to your car’s interior, and if the water manages to leak onto you or your passengers, it can cause discomfort and frustration. Issues that can arise due to water damage from a leaking sunroof, include rotten smells, mould, rust, electrical issues, condensation on windows and damp carpets, just to name a few. Sunroof leakages are generally caused by a buildup of debris, such as leaves, in the sunroof’s drainage tubes. Hence, it is important to properly maintain your sunroof, and regularly check and clean the drainage passages.

If the leak is caused by something other than blocked drainage, or you are unable to clear the blockage yourself, we recommend getting your sunroof looked at by our expert automotive sunroof specialists, who can assist with determining the source of the leak as well as rectifying the issue for you.

Sunroof Won’t Open

The purpose and satisfaction of a sunroof, is in its ability to open and enjoy the cool and fresh airflow through your car. So when your sunroof won’t open, it can be extremely frustrating and render the sunroof useless. If your sunroof fails to open, it could be due to a broken motor or wiring, damaged rails or a fuse may have blown. It is best to get a professional automotive sunroof specialist to take a look at your car sunroof to determine the source of the problem and rectify the issue.

Sticking Sunroof

If your sunroof doesn’t open smoothly and seems to get stuck, then the tracks may need to be lubricated with heavy silicone grease. Regularly lubricating the sunroof tracks will prevent your sunroof from sticking, and ensure it continues to open smoothly over time.

Sticking sunroofs can also be the result of cables that are either worn or broken. In this case, you will need to engage a professional automotive specialist to restore function to your sunroof and replace any aged or damaged cabling.

Broken Glass

Sunroofs are fitted with toughened glass that is designed to resist shattering. However, there are certain circumstances, such as a large storm, that may cause a situation where your sunroof glass could shatter. Whilst these situations are not common, there may be instances where your sunroof is struck by a fallen tree branch or other debri that may result in a broken sunroof. If you need the glass in your sunroof replaced, the specialist team at Autolux can professionally remove the existing broken glass and replace it with a new automotive sunroof glass panel.
