Frequently asked questions

What is the STC168 sunroof cable and what does it do?
The STC168 sunroof cable is the drive cable for the sliding sunroof on the Land Rover Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic. It transmits drive from the operating mechanism to the panel, moving it open and closed along the guide rails. It runs within the sunroof cassette set into the roof.
Why does the sunroof cable fail?
The sunroof cable typically fails when it stretches, frays or seizes with age and dirt, causing the sunroof to jam, run unevenly or stop moving. A binding cassette mechanism accelerates the wear. Renewing the cable restores smooth operation once the mechanism is cleaned and greased.
Is replacing the sunroof cable a straightforward job?
Replacing the sunroof cable typically means removing the sunroof cassette or headlining to reach the mechanism, so it's a moderate job rather than a quick fix. Cleaning and greasing the guide rails while it's apart usually helps the new cable last. Work methodically to avoid disturbing the roof seal.
