    Question newbie

    I am quite new to being an Opel owner
    I live in Central Victoria and just love driving the Calibra which is a V6 manual December 1996 build.
    My only problem is the sunroof is jammed half open, the roof is out of alignment, the passenger side appears to be further forward and will only move a couple of inches, motor appears ok. any help appreciated

    Sounds like the gearing drive mechanism has packed it in. Very very common issue.

    As for a fix, honestly I can't remember. The cogs will strip on one side hence the alignment being out too. Have to be careful as they used two different systems with different sized cogs which weren't compatible with each other.

    Plus mine was one of the very rare ones that didn't have a sunroof

    thanks, I managed to get roof closed, so at least it is waterproof again, will leave it to a pro to look at.
