  • I reveal a quick trick on how to manually operate the sunroof incase it gets stuck open (or closed) but still manage to get wet installing a new (old) switch.

    Wow! So that's what "just in time manufacturing" looks like. No testing or faffing about, just plug and play... 😄👍

    Had the same problem with my 940 sunroof - I burned-out several sunroof switches - the contacts were continually burning out. So I removed the electric motor./drive unit and replaced it with a manual winder unit - This was quite simple - I just had to modify the small cog on the manual unit. The manual unit is perfect and appears as if it has always been there. I never checked out the sunroof motor - but my guess is that there was a short in the windings which caused the switch to be overloaded.

    A month ago, I bought 1993 Volvo 1993 940 Wagon. I’m looking forward to getting my sunroof open for the Midwestern and Southeastern summer.

    Was LMAO with the shot of open boot and your comment: "I could probably fit another 940 in here". It certainly feels like that I must say.

      That's true, although I have been wearing the oil resistant thick purple gloves lately and really enjoying them, they have grip and no more screwdriver stab marks
