1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon Sliding Sunroof Removal

Post by AFPU » Mon Apr 06, 2026 4:24 pm

The vinyl on one of the front corners of my fixed sunroof section (left-hand side of exterior picture) has come away on the underside, so I need to remove the sliding sunroof to stick it back under. I have the workshop manual explaining the process, but having never done it before I wanted to check a few things. So, I am guessing I need to remove the sunroof handle (which is a temporary item fitted by my garage as the new one I had purchased did not fit).
1) I have no rexine panel to remove, so no visible locking bar, so is that an issue?
2) If the above is OK, then is it simply a matter of lifting the front edge of the sliding sunroof and pulling it forward and out?
3) How are the rear sliders sprung off the runners?
