Yes there is the sunroof can be wound down manually. The motor is in the boot on the left behind the carpet. The big nut you can see will wind it back down (provided that the cable is ok, which it sounds like it aint). It is driven from the motor via a cable and gearboxes or plastic worm drives depending on the age of your your car. Mine is knackered at the mo. Have a new cable to fit. A good place to start is www.clarks-garage.com for anything to do with your 944 including your sunroof. If you remove the cable just make sure you lock the sunroof down with the legs to raise and lower it. Once you get into the job you will know what I mean lol.
 
Hi Elliot Hope you had a good holiday! If you want to drop round we could have a good look at it - maybe go and see the S2 rount the corner, see how it should work. Mike
 
Thanks Rob i will have a look at the weekend then and see if i need to replace this cable, if not could it be the gears or rails? Thanks mike might take you up on that as iv got a few other niggles i wouldnt mind a 2nd opinion on....and yes thank you was a nice break!
 
Hi all,

i have a sunroof issue and don't know where to start....

when i press the button the motor makes a noise but nothing happens....?

it also sits up out of the flat position slightly, does not let in water but is slightly raised to the rear....is there a manual way of opening or closing the sunroof?

All help appreciated,

Elliot

 
There is a very good sunroof troubleshooter in the Garage Shop Manual at www.clarks-garage.com
