Default Sunroofs

My XR8's got a sunroof, however it doesn't work. Wont open, wont even budge. i also think that one of the seals may not be 100% because i occasionally get a tiny bit of water on.
Where can i get this fixed and how much will it cost me?

I'm in no hurry, due to $$$, it's not a major thing, and were getting into winter. so it wont be open that much

Cheers

there are a number of sunroof places about, check the yellow pages...

is it the factory sunroof or an aftermarket one? check for fuses to see if its blown a fuse...

it wont be a dodgy seal, as they arent overly tightly sealed, what it will be is one or all of the drainage tubes will be blocked..... - this is whats wrong with my sunroof, have to get it fixed one day

around the opening of the roof is like a tray, and off this is tubes going down the A and C pillars to allow the water to drain out when it rains....

Checked all fuses there fine.
By the looks of it it's a factory item

It may have leaked with the previous owner and they may have used silicone to seal it!
Do you here any motor noise at all.

I know for a fact that the previous owner wouldn't do something like that. If he did i would severly hurt him (previous owner was my brother), lol.
When i press the button i hear a clicking sound from around the dash/fuse area. Which has got me thinking it's a relay or something along those lines
