Default Sunroof

Ive got the tickford sunroof on my AU2 XR8 and ive noticed that the sunroof glass seems to rattle over bad bumps when closed..Not a problem when open.. In the closed postion ive got slight up and down movement when pushing the glass from the inside with my hand..Thought id ask in here before attempting to adjust the glass slides myself.
Is the job too involved? or should i just take it in to a sunroof Shop?
Cheers

No..I had a tickford Sunroof installed 3 years ago.. Im surposed to have it serviced once a year but they are in town and wont service on Saturday`s.
They want the car for half a day but the service takes 45mins..The problem is i have to take the day off work..
If the sevice isnt that hard id do it myself.. just waiting on here for a answer .. do it myself job or is it a `too hard` job! If it is., ill just take the day off and have it serviced.
Cheers

Is the service a freebe or are you paying for it ? if your paying for it there are plenty of reputable sunroof dealers around that will service it , I presume its a Hollandia (splelln)

check here to make sure it's not covered "Hollandia 700 sunroofs manufactured from 2002-2009" are covered by the recall so you might be lucky
