Rover 45 Sunroof Headlining - Greek Goddess
Having trouble with the electric sunroof.
Will tilt up but not slide back.
Rubber on the front of the roof glass looks a bit squashed and the roof does not sit flush with the car bodywork.
Was told the problem lies with the slider cable having come loose/ off its runner but it's located in the car roof under the headlining.
Was quoted 2 hours work to fix it at £42.50 per hour plus VAT.
Sounds like a rip-off to me, £42.50 per hour? who earns that kinda money?
Anyhow questions are these:

1/ How easy is it to take the headlining off myself.

2/ Does anyone on here know anywhere cheaper, bearing in mind I'm in the Greater Manchester area.

Thanks

Price is good, cheaper than in my area ie £95 an hour.

Job is best left to garage to sort,I gather they are fiddly to do get right
