Frequently asked questions

What is the sunroof handle assembly used for?
The sunroof handle assembly operates a manually operated glass sunroof. Mounted in the sunroof surround, it engages the panel's latch and geartrain so the glass can be released, tilted or slid open and locked back in place. It is supplied as a complete assembly.
Which vehicles and handle types does this cover?
This handle covers the Defender and Discovery 1 (1989-1998). Defender models from 1987 to 2006 use a twist handle, while 2007 to 2016 models use a tilt and slide handle, so the mechanism differs by year.
How do I know which sunroof handle I need?
Check whether your sunroof uses a twist mechanism or a tilt and slide mechanism, and match your model year. Defender up to 2006 differs from 2007 to 2016, and Discovery 1 uses its own handle for the front and rear sunroofs.
