Sliding roof (Opel Vectra B)

For this "window to the sky" to function perfectly, it needs to be set up precisely. Even an amateur can do this with the appropriate instructions, but the detailed description required for this would be beyond the scope of this book.

If the electric drive no longer works, you can help yourself.

First check the corresponding fuse.

Remove the interior light, see chapter "Lighting" and unscrew the mounting screws located underneath it.

Remove the trim from the front and unhook it from the back.

Turn on the ignition and check the electrical diagram to see if there is voltage at the corresponding connectors.

Check the ground connection as well.

If there is voltage, then the cause of the malfunction may be in the switch.

But even without power supply you can close the roof.

Insert a screwdriver into the slotted head of the screw and push it up.

To close the retractable roof, turn the screwdriver to the right.

From the installation position, close it by turning it to the left.

Leaky retractable roof

The reason for the leaky retractable roof is clogged drain pipes, which are installed one at each of the four corners of the retractable roof box. The incoming water must be able to drain.



Therefore, if the retractable roof is not sealed, clean all four drain hoses.

Both rear drain holes are barely accessible even with the sliding roof down (shine a flashlight into the retractable roof box)

The front drain hoses - not visible from the outside - enter the hollow profiles of the door channel. The incoming water flows out through the drain holes under the channel. For this, they must not be clogged.

Both rear hoses end under the sides of the bumper.

For example, a spiral from an old speedometer shaft is suitable for cleaning hoses. Sometimes wire is enough.
