    Default VN SS Sunroof help.

    G'day.
    Ive tried googling and searching the forums with no luck.
    It seems the switch is broken on my sunroof and it's stuck on tilt mode!

    I was wanting to know the location of the fuse for the sunroof and also if anybody has information on how to close the sunroof manually untill I can sort it out.

    any help? thanks

    only a few here have sunroofs so most of us cant help you, do the switches work in any mode, if they work 1 way and not another its likely thw switch or sunroof itself and will require an auto sparky, best to check the fuse anyway, will be under dash or in engine fuse panel

    cheers, may have to get a sparky to take a look at it.

    If anybody has info in the meantime on how to manually close the moon roof let me know.

    mate there is a reason they are called a hole in head.
    they lost a lot of popularity many years ago due to leaks and othe problems that the cheap crappy one had.

    probably a useless answer, but the same thing happened to me when i installed my headunit. turned out one of the wires that connected to the switch had come loose, so it wouldn't go down. i guess you've probably taken the switch out and inspected it already though.

    If it's 'factory' then it was installed by the dealer (using a 3rd party company) when the car was new. They used Hollandia brand roofs. Hollandia were and still are quality sunroofs. Google 'Hollandia'. You'll find local agents. Give them a call and see if they can help. Generally there will be a manual winder, probably presenting as an allen head screw. But it may be hidden under the roof lining

    Your roof will have a model number on the internal framing that should be visible when tilted (or fully open). On the front frame just left of centre behind the wind deflecter. Mine is a Type TVS.

    My VN sunroof in identical to the one fitted to my VT S2 bought new. That one was fitted by HSV after the car was built. Had to wait 2 extra weeks for delivery.

    Holden continued to use these roofs until the VE where they have gone to a different style where the turret if pressed for the sunroof.

    And anyone that has a well maintained sunroof will appreciate what a valuable asset they are. If it leaks then fix it (just like anything else on your VN that's f**ked).

    Oh and fell free to delete this post if it's deemed 'off topic'.
