Got a problem with my sunroof.

[gooner1]

Which began whilst trying to fit a wind deflector.
Roof opens perfectly normal, however when trying to close
it, it stops an inch before full closure.
Removed the wind deflector, as I thought the metal clips were
stopping the roof's progress.

Hasn't removed the problem. If I hold the plastic strip,
at the front of the roof aperture, down, then the roof will fully
close. Which is better but would rather have a fully functioning
roof, preferably with the wind deflector fitted.

Any ideas folk?
TIA.

Just to explain a bit better than before.
It's the plastic strip that runs horizontally at the front
of the sunroof aperture that is causing this.
It's supposed to lower as the sunroof closes, it doesn't
do this unless I physically move it down.

It's probably just got a little bent as it's metal mine used to do the same just push down hard in her middle while it's open should cure it

Tried that jonny, no joy.
Also tried the same with the 2 arms that attach to it on either side.
Anyone else had problems after fitting/trying to fit the persplex wind deflector?

I think some pictures might be needed

Will take some tomorrow.

Once I get it sorted, I think I'll tigerseal the f^$*£"g
deflector to the roof. Grrrrrrr.

Iv had them before on fords and the brackets are so thin they shouldn't affect anything else

No2 is the part that has caused the problem.
Part 8 is the part that now won't close unless I hold
it down while operating the sunroof switch.

It's going to be something silly like something unclipped

Or unhinged, like the bloke trying to fit it.
