Hi guys
A bit of a head scratcher for you all .
Had a customer come in and asked us to remove the roof lining out of his vogue as he was getting it re trimmed in suade and while that was out he asked us to remove the roof blind so this could be re trimmed at the same time .
We got them back and re fitted them but the roof blind needs to be calibrated . Now we have tried the recommended calibration procedure from LR but it still doesn't work . The blind will only retract half way then stopped

Just wondering if there is anyone on here that has either removed the sun blind before or even a bodyshop who has had a similar problem when removing the panoramic roof or something ?

This is probably way off the mark but just my best stab at logic. I presume that the standard fabric is held in a roller mechanism, which is designed to take the quantity of rolled up standard fabric but is suede the same thickness,? I'd doubt it and it may simply be because the roller is full. Apologies if I'm wide of the mark

Yea we thought that but it all seems fine , the reel will retract by hand very freely .
We can't understand it ...it calibrated fine the first time but we left it over night and came to it in the morning and it had somehow lost its calibration and now won't calibrate at all ? 2002 - Blue L322 3.0 TD Vogue (Previous)

This is the information I have for recalibrating the sunroof & blind, is it the same as yours? ...
Start the engine.
(The sunroof and blind must be in the closed position before doing re-calibration)
Press the sunroof and also the blind 'close' switch for approximately 20 seconds until the sunroof and also the blind actuates forwards and then rearwards approximately 10mm.
Then...
Release the sunroof and blind switches and press them both again within 5secs and keep them pressed until the following sequence has completed.
Sunroof opens fully.
Blind opens fully.
Sunroof closes fully.
Blind closes fully.
Release the 2 switches again and the sunroof and blind should now be fully initialized.
Test that they now work, but if the one touch and anti-trap functions are inoperative repeat the sequence again.

I don't know if you can just do either the sunroof or blind on their own using the above procedure but might be worth trying first. Note it is always the close side of the rocker switch you use above.
Hope this helps. Steve
