My brother had a S2 AUXR6 with the factory sunroof that needs repairing or replacing sooner rather than later...he tells me it's going to get rainy there soon
 Being in Maryborough (QLD) limits his chances a bit though. Any ideas people ?

Try some gaffer or duct tape and thick black/clear plastic as a temp solution.
Otherwise, try this mob: 1. Rocky's Glass Direct Garden Street 30 4650 Maryborough Queensland - Australia 0412 988 655 Sale, Installation And Repairs Of Windshields And Sunroofs Cars - Windshields found using Google

Thank you JC, only happened this morning and he thinks it's too hard to Google anything whilst driving a Truck

Just got a message back from him and he thinks it will be a complete replace job as it looks like the whole structure has gone, and looks like it's rusted out in places. The joys of living near the Beach

Rog, is it just leaking or not working? If it is leaking, there is drain holes in each front corner that tend to block up. My LTD has done this and was fixed by blowing some air down the drain tubes.
The sunroof glass itself does not actually seal. It relies on the drain tubes. Cheers Stu

I have heard of this. Someone recently had this happen and contacted Hollandia - I believe they corrected this for free because it was a recall back in the day. I am sure they have changed their name now, but should not take much to work out how to contact them.
Cheers Stu

There was a recall on the Hollandia sunroofs where they were replacing the glass. If the defect was the cause of the rusting frame I would be pushing for a replacement as well. Our sunroof in the XR8 we had at the time let go during a pass a Heathcote with my wife driving. |

I'll pass the recall on to my brother, but I don't how he'll get on after this length of time.

I have been told to maintain the roof yearly with a full service

I rang sunroof city in sydney as it was there sticker on the car,, explained to them about how i heard about a recal.. she was keen to fix it till she found out i was in adelaide,, I thought they had a dealer in adelaide but she said ill have to pay... So ill try Ford and see what they say. my sunroof stopped working when my BCM and computer got changed over. Am i righting thinging the bcm would control the sunroofs module. a lot of facebook blokes have had their roof lift off whilst driving in the past few months..

I know of several au owners who have had their sunroof repaired or replaced in the last 18 months or so. Times doesn't seem to be an issue.

Hi. Reading this post, I cant wonder at the amount of sunroofs out there that have missed the recall. Had one come into work the other day that hadnt been done. When I had mine everyone who walked past my car told me to get it done. Cheers MD
