Question The sunroof on my 1996 Volvo 850 wagon closes smoothly, but won't open. It makes a noisy, ratchety sound as if gears were no longer meshing. Is this repair/replacement I should try myself? Is there someone in the Chicago area who would fix the sunroof at a fair price? Thanks very much.

Answer Tony, I dont recommend messing with it. Sounds like the cables are messed up or possibly a crunched track piece. Hard to say without looking at it. In chicago, the only place I have in my book is the dealer. The only specialist shop is in Schaumburg. You can try a search of the area but that is all I have. Roger
