[underside of bumper mishaped]

its the standard car, its not bad, its just a case that it now catches on large speed bumps and that.

Oh right hadn't thought of that, I shall try rversing back onto drive to face the sun for a few days

[sunroof won't quite close fully]

I had a similar issue with mine, it wasn't dropping of rail or owt was just not closing as if it thought something was trapped, after looking on here found a small black clip had dislodged on the right hand side and just relocated this and jobs a good'en.

hope this helps

Thanks everyone, think this one may be out of my remit so may need to seek garage assistance

If go down route of changing whole unit then is it best to change both as a pair or ok just to change left on its tod
