A great ‘how to’ video. My 2006 Freelander sunroof doesn’t work and makes this noise so I’ve ordered the repair kit and having watched this can now fix it, thank you for taking the time to do this… it looks fiddly enough without filming at the same time!

Thanks, yes it is fiddly and time consuming but it is always nice to get something working again. I only mentioned removing and sealing the sunroof seal briefly at the end, but that would appear to be the cause of rust and jamming up. The rust under the seal is needing a lot of extra work as well. I think it will be ok treating the rust and using MS polymer seal to reseal and hold it all together.

I attempted to repair the mechanisms on my TD4. Web t the whole hog and removed the headliner etc. lifted the glass out(much the same state as your one) and then removed the ‘cassette’ and stripped it down on the bench. Despite several weeks of ‘immersion’ I failed to release the mechanisms enough to make them work. I ‘restored’ the glass (a temporary bodge) using some filler and cleaned off as much corrosion as possible. In refitting the motor I couldn’t alone the wires correctly so it went back in in a Worse condition regards functionality than when it came out. Didn’t try any new parts. Mechanisms were £250 EACH when I last looked. A new sunroof glass was £150 a few years ago.. cheapest these days £349. I shall revisit this project later..

I sympathise, it does take a fair bit of patience and analysis of why parts aren’t moving smoothly. Some of the new parts (non OEM) were a tighter fit than the old parts, so if they weren’t broken then better to reuse the old bits. Same on the alignment, just a few tries and a bit of analysis to see which fitting position is correct. Taking the motor apart is an important step to free up the gear movement. Good luck!

A warning against selling; a few years after buying my Freelander I was cursing it regularly. "Too delicate! Too complex!", and so on.... 20 years on, the little Landy stands out as about the last of the truly 'owner serviceable' vehicles, and since it's now one of JLR's 'Heritage Vehicles', spares will still be available. There are 10 year old Toyota's that have a worrying amount of 'NLA' parts....

I like them a lot despite having done quite a few repairs. They are quite easy and very cheap to repair, especially compared to others like BMW etc. The main issue now is the damn road tax.
