Wow.. I guess they never figured on someone needing to remove it so didn't care to do a more professional looking cut..

 

My sunroof looks like someone took to it with a cigarette butt because the cloth is withering from around the front edge of it where you use your hand to pull it closed. It also looks like that on the sunroof door itself and the edges of the surrounding material on the headliner that encase the door.

Is that something that I can get repaired or would I have to replace the whole dang headliner and sunroof door material?

 

Tom, do you have any ideas on the sunroof problem? Are you thinking it is a problem with the power or wiring or do you think the sunroof's motor is out?

 

If you can get access to the motor you could run 12 volts directly to the motor to diagnose the problem. I use a 12 volt rechargeable drill battery.

it seems you have an interesting problem if the motor is bad, I'm not sure where you will find a replacement. Your sunroof is definitely not factory but some were fitted with dealer option sunroofs, but the button mounting was a lot cleaner than your photos show. The first Discovery I parted out had dealer option sunroofs and the motors were not the same as factory.

If it's the motor and it's the same as the dealer option ones, I can give you one if you pay for shipping(can't be more than $10 depending on where you are).

Good luck

Hi All, here is an update to my Sunroof not opening problem:

My electrical guy said that it's not my motor because he was able to hook something up to the motor and bypass the switch and open the sunroof.

So my problem now is that now I know it is the switch but my switch doesn't look like the other switches for sale. I see what you all are talking about now that it is aftermarket.

Looks like all the switches online for my Disco I look different than mine, so how do I find a switch or how do I fix the one I have if I can't find one that looks similar to mine?

I posted a picture of my sunroof switch earlier in this post..

 

Your switch looks like it is a standard window switch. If it were me, I would get a Disco sunroof switch, wire it in and call it a day.

 

Thanks Butchhe, possible obvious question here, but if I got a Disco sunroof switch, then will it be the 3-button switch with a lock button in the middle?

And if so, will I have to get the person to cut holes for the other 2 switches to fit in properly and then just wire one of them to function with the other 2 just being there for cosmetics?

 

I have seen them on ebay both ways so it all depends on what you want. I would look for the single switch, cut the current hole bigger to fit the new switch and wire it up and be done with it.
