as any body ever fit an electric sunroof in a saff
how do you mount it to the inside of the roof
do you need to get the mounting bracket from the donor car or wat

slowpoke

ive done it in mine

two of the holes line up and you have to bend the bracket and then drill two others iirc

i ave not got the bracket .how is the bracket fixed to inside of roof you would have to try and get in with a spot welder to spot it to the inside of roof i thinkas i have not got the donor car i would not know how it is fixed on

maybe a granada bracket may be modded to make it fit.

all you need to do is drill out the rivets(the ones in the middle of the sun roof with screws) that go through them that hold the shaft in and swap it over.

much easier than swapping the whole thing over

If you've got the early sunroof with winder the motor won't fit, but if you have a later model the motor will fit (easy to check is if you have fine splines its a later style one) If you have an early spec one you'll need to change the whole sunroof this can be a complete pain.

The bracket is held p by the two screws that come through sunroof mechanism and a further two that you'll need to drill (I'm pretty sure this doesn't make sense)

Ginge !

I FOUND IT ALOT EASIER TO BUY A BMW WITH A ELECTRIC SUNROOF FITTED TO IT

also made it easier to have aircon on the car too,,,, aswell as STOP ME DRIVING A OLD SIERRA

if you have a winder handle, then the chances are you have teh big splines

so you nned a granada motor as these are big splines

you need a sierra/granada motor bracket

the bracket will just bolt up alls you have to do is move a couple of clips what the screws screw into

you will then need a serra cover and switch, but you need to swap the connector plugs over form a sierra onto the granada plug or you can just use the granada plug and make the hole bigger on the cover for the switch to place in

now the cover is the hardest part

as electric sunroof models have 2 bits of metal pressed out the roofskin of the car

what i did was line it up to where i want it and mark it out

drill little holes and then finished it up mby making a slot
then i bent the metal down so the cover would clip in

the front side (towards windscreen) will just screw up as it should

then you need the interior light panel as these are diferent aswell, swap a few wires over so it connects up and place it in

note - if your using a granada motor you need to unclip the relay holder and move it somewhere above the motor for the light to fit as the granada motor one sits lower down



heres some pics not brilliant as i forgot to take them while i done it but gives you an idea



holes cut and bent ready

Ginge !

only cause all the old sierras have rusted away
