I've been having such a tough time to get the sunroof to lock by itself when closing. The arms just retract all the way and I have to press and guess through the console switch to lock the roof. Today I stripped the mechanism housed in the boot. Reading the Clarkes garage article re the locking aspect, it suggested limit switches, which I was convinced would cure the issue. However after a good afternoon of tinkering I think I understand why the roof doesn't lock. Looking at the mechanism there is a plastic piece that moves up and down the metal guide. At the bottom of the guide are two limit/micro switches, which when activated by the sliding plastic piece should stop the arms in the locked position. However it looks like a section of the plastic has become detached from the main body, so when the plastic should go back to its start position, the main body is left behind. When being left behind the plastic is pushed further past the micro switches making them open.
My question is, should the two plastic sections be as one unit? I know this is a difficult question if you've not seen the mechanism in operation. Any help appreciated.
