as above what model sierras had an electric sunroof? was it just ghia, xr4x4, cosworth 92 onwards? or did the Azura etc

Garethw1986

the azura did not even have elec windows but your right that the 92 onwards ghias and cossies ect had elec roof

SapphyMike

My 89 2wd Cossie had an electric sunroof, looked factory but I reckon it was fitted after. Also had the a/c fan switch. This was fitted to a 2wd dash board.

I cant remember if my J reg XR4x4 had an electric sunroof mind..

its easy to fit a electric sunroof in a 89 saff with the right combination of bits

andycos

My 92 Sapphire has it,and aircon as well.

SapphyMike

IIRC correctly the Granada electric sunroof motor is often used.

This definitely had a Sierra cowling around the sunroof switch mind.

Is the a/c any good? I've always heard that its not that good?

I cheated just used the granada spline in a sierra motor which in turn bolts up to the original mech with a modded bracket to retain the cover

the sierra mechanism is the same as the granada's and the granada's came with 2 different splines, corse and fine so you can get them to fit not a problem

some roofs will need some "finesing" to get the bracket to fit and there is some conflicting advice as to what fits and what doesn't

just remember to get the bracket from the sierra and everything else will fit just fine

getting one from the granada may not fit as the granda ones sat at a different angle

fitted to sierra`s from 8/91 ghia,cossy.

2000E may have had elec sunroof?

dojj

nope, was phased out before the introduction

andycos

I had it converted to the newer r134 system,and although it is ok its not up to modern air con performance.
My range rover air con is noticeably cooler !

The sunroof motor bracket in the Granada is welded to the roof.
The Sierra one bolts in.

The XR4x4 from facelift in late 1991 had the electric roof.

SapphyMike

Is it better than having to put the windows down? lol. Modern a/c will be miles better than older cars anyway, more efficient pumps etc. I bet its still better than no a/c though

My J Reg one probably had one then - It was 2002 when I last owned it so details like that are sketchy

Is Sierra A/C worth much?

Iain Mac

I had two sets in the garage for 9 years before I managed to give them away, and I had to deliver them!

you sure about that? i could have sworn that i used to remove the brackets complete with the motor intact but they wouldn't fit into the sierra as the angle was different so i gave up afterwards

i think i've got several motors floating about the garage as well, but no brackets

Iain Mac

I only ever tried to get the gear from one Granada and left with only the motor because chiselling the bracket off the roof destroyed it!

I then got the bolt-in kit from a Sierra and swapped the drive cog from the Granada motor (can't recall why the motor wasn't a straight swap but I must have had a reason for doing the swap?)

andycos

Oh yes its nice and cool on a hot day,and i find it well worth having

2 different splines, corse and fine in the later cars

Also there is a difference on the relay set up between early and late versions and the really early mk2's have a slightly different skin to the later ones requiring some modifications to be carried out to the inner skin, but is all possible

90 spec cars have the extra little notch in the roof, 89 spec cars don't

from personal experience anyway
