I am just dealing with the last of a series of annoying problems. The issue I have is that the sunroof (panoramic) is quite temperamental. It sometimes only goes back a few inches, other times opens fully. It also consistently fails to close all the way. It closes enough to be watertight, but not enough to stop wind noise.
I have resigned myself to removing the headlining next weekend to find out thats going on. Initial thoughts are it is one of three things:
Sunroof motor needs replacing (about £25)
Sunroof cables need replacing (about £35)
Whole sunroof needs replacing (£130)
Any ideas which of those it could be given the symptoms (crosses fingers for motor)
Cheers
-- Phil

Now that is some good news. Do you reckon the motor will need lubing, or just the runners (hidden question, is there any way I can get out of removing the roof lining?)

No idea, never done a 206 sunroof 
Worked on a 405 electric sunroof, lack of grease / use.

Thanks for the advice, looks like I will have to play it by ear.
