   :cornut: You're a life saver(and I don't mean that you are candy)! I've got my tool kit and allen wrenches galore. Would you happen to know where the 'creepo apparatus' is located? If not I'll effort Real OEM.

   Thanks,
   Jason

   I found a video of the R50/53... the manual crank close screw is on the center of the motor housing... front and center of the sunroof. The Youtube image below shows the motor... I recollect the manual crank location is the silver trimmed chip at the bottom middle of the flick:

   See the last film on post #i hither: Mini R56 panoramic sunroof trouble - MINI Cooper Forum - MINI2 Mini Cooper Forums

   The switches shown in that pic are on the headliner, so that is an R56 variant... should work like that for you.

   As a previous affiche mentioned, the crank tool shown in the pic was stored in a tool kit that, in the R53, was wedged betwixt the battery and the back of the battery box. Not sure where it hides on the R56.

9. The change is the newer sunroofs are a TINY BIT smaller....
   the alter in the sunroof, every bit I recall, was because the tolerances were too tight...so on a hot day, the motor would plough off as a rubber precaution thinking something was pinched in the window equally information technology was endmost...think it was just a warranty item...but you MIGHT get lucky...ASK.
   Regular lube was a temp fix...but replacement was the long-term fix.
   I'm wondering if the motor on it only died or overheated from the high load/heat.
   If it was me...if the prepare (other than the motor bandy) was not gratis, I would merely lube it up, replace the motor, and keep going...the ENTIRE SUNROOF is swapped out for the set up.

    :cornut:Crashton and all helpers. I'm getting there. Going slowly and deliberately. Putting parts in social club of where they came from. Figuring out the nuances instead of getting a 6lbs sledge and chisel. Anyway just as I fully exposed the 'allen wrench socket', Lady Margi says "Jason, company's hither. Tell them I'yard decorated. Tin't do that. It's the Pastor from the church. Rats, okay I'll be right in." So I can't finish until tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. I am so proud to be associated with MINIacs like y'all who jumped right in to aid. Information technology is making the job so much easier with all of these positive waves.:

    :cornut:Thanks ZippyNH, we are definitely thinking along similar lines. Wangle a dealer gear up-Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cost all on me- Motor and lube. Yous recall like me?:wink::wink::yikes::yikes: You must be a sick man.:lol::lol::lol:

    PS- thanks to Nathan, I have a pinnacle secret email in to an unnamed agent at an unnamed dealership re: Warranty. It'south so secret that AG Eric Holder has already chosen me.

    :cornut: Got side tracked with family unit duties simply roof glass now closed past cranking with allen wrench. Motor now working but only to open up roof windows. It doesn't piece of work to shut windows, foreign. At that place are obviously other issues, re stripped gears etc. I'll keep hunting.

    :cornut: Yes! Lubed later cleaning with cloth, solvent, and small dowel rod with cloth soaked in solvent. Get into all rail, slots , and hinges in both the louvered and the wide open positions. Lube with lube of choice again with roof in both positions. E'er exist careful of delicate opening switch. Only button or pull switch to the (felt but non heard) click and no further. Going past the clicks will somewhen wear out/brake the switch.
