My 95 Disco front electric roof has an erection problem!
When I press the button to open I have to manually push it up to allow it to clear the roof so it can slide back!

Is it worth me looking at it or is it probably a new roof therefore keep "assisting" it?

Yes its an age problem stchris356 :) there are small nylon rollers/sliders in the tracks and the arm that lifts the glass and they wear or more likely break as they become brittle as mine did. Spares are unavailable and u would have to take the roof apart to fit them if they were, so bit the bullit and replace the sunroof and the one I got from ebay was newer than the original :D

Have u tried a dab of grease on the sliders?

Cheers mate I tried the lube but to no avail so I'll take a look at e-bay and also take a look at Billing!
 
I never in a million years would have thought a post regarding a sunroof could be as rude as this one. Erection problem and lube :rofl:
