Rolling Eyes I had this problem on my 2600 vp .The headlining has to come off and you will see the whole sunroof assembly is bolted onto brackets that are fixed to the body by slotted bolt holes .So you can slacken these and push the assembly up to align it with the roof .Hope this helps ..

It was a bit more basic than that.... He simply didn't look at the problem....

It was our old friend tin worm, sorted now with a new panel. Thanks for the help though.

Ah yes. I had the same issue too. Although I couldn't track down a new panel, so I managed to rebuild the rusted bits out of bog, and make new locating tabs out of some spare aluminium. Maybe not the most beautiful repair, but it works, and you can't see it anyway.

I wouldn't say mine was new.... A good used example off Taffy427's terminally rotted VDP did wonders.... Even if I did buy it for my Vitesse!
