Seems a bit silly but can anyone give me any info about the sunroof on my '95 300tdi Disco? It has a lever at the rear to tilt the glass, not a twist knob like I see in other photos. I have checked the parts manual and had a search on here with no luck.

Would like to know what it's called so I can order seals and maybe find a new bit of trim because it no longer clips in!

Thanks, Max

Could it be an aftermarket sunroof?
The ones in my 1996 are both electric so are different.

The 300 series was from Vin LA which is 1994 model year and when fitted with a sunroof was fully retractable, manual or electric so you sunroof roof is an aftermarket fitment, hence not in the parts catalogue.

The installing of a sunroofs to vehicles that didn’t leave the factory with one fitted seems to me pretty rare now, so your sunroof may be obsolete now, unless u have a recent date of its installation.
I expect that a Google search is require to identify the brand and/or a sunroof company that can help you. Perhaps the company that replace the headliner can help u.
Do you have two identical sunroofs fitted ?.

It may be a case of finding a rubber seal that will fit. There are companies who should be able to help.

If you can't find the parts you need, could you fit one out of a Disco 1 or 2? I believe they are the same in both models.

Thanks everyone for confirming my suspicion that it's aftermarket. Had a google, looks like its an Inalfa sunroof. Think the red push buttons on the side of the handle give it away. It's the only one (front), so probably left the factory without any sunroof at all. I quite like it, so assuming I can fix it, it'll stay!

The Red Button seems familiar, may be a mini or something else but its a long time ago, my disco is first and last vehicle fitted with a sunroof i’ve owned,,don’t really need it with A/C
