Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 2006780 Sunroof question
Does the -88 780 have sunroof with tilt and slide, or just slide? I was testing the roof on a 780 the other day, and the roof would not tilt, only slide. Could there be something wrong with the mecanism? My dad had a -85 740 some years ago and I remember that the roof could be tilted for ventilation and be slided back. Strange if a much more luxury car like the 780 has only sliding roof. Per Mathisen Norway You should have the same sunroof as a 760 which is tilt and slide. Check wiring to switch and connections between switch and sunroof. Let us know what results you obtain as it is possible that one of the limit switches in the roof actuator is playing up. Also make sure that the actuator's earth connection is secure (under the cover for the actuator where manual handle would be if manually operated).

Yep you are right.....the 780 has only the sliding glass moonroof. I read an old review of the 780 when it was first on the market and the reviewer claimed the moonroof on the 780 looked like a cheap patch on an expensive suit. I guess he felt it did not do the car justice. CTV That roof is not a glass one. First Volvo with glass tilt 'n' slide was 1994 960 followed by 1995 940.

All our 780s in North America had glass sunroofs right from the start of production, 1987. As noted by someone else, it was slide only though. The other 700 series cars had slide and tilt steel sunroofs.  SignatureMike F. Thornhill (near Toronto), Ont. Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly. (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.) Thanks for that info Mike, seems none of the European ones had glass. I have a few in UK on my register, but they don't seem to have sunroofs even. Mind you I haven't seen the one near to me yet as it has only just been restored. The Dutch gentleman who comes over to our Main BKVs every year hasn't got one on his either. All the best, Peter. 700/900/90 Register Keeper, Volvo Owners Club (UK). >> That roof is not a glass one.

The roof is fine, then, since the 780 only have sliding roof :-( But Peter, you are wrong. The 780 I was testing the roof on, definitaly had the glass roof (Norway). And the ones I have seen for sale in Scandinavia, all has glass roof. Per Mathisen Fine, another hole in my information has now been plugged, thankyou Per. I would rather know than inadvertantly give out duff gen.
