sunroof doesnt work Options

[grasby]

ok, my sunroof doesnt work
i think its just jammed
because i when i push the buttons
it makes noise and moves slightly
but very little
how do i get to the traccs and sunroof motor?
am i going to have to take off the interior of the roof?

[Akirad1]

remove the headliner and your gears may be broken like on mine it used to move up and down but not back now it just makes the grinding sound

I do have an extra motor w/relay laying around....if your needing one.

[Akirad1]

sweet but i have no idea how to remove the headliner lol

[grasby]

well it doesnt really move at all
just makes a very pathetic effort
when you push the bacc button
and thats it

[Spider77]

Removing the headliner sucks. Too much crap to take off. But I guess if you have to, you have to.

[grasby]

ok, umm
hope it doesnt sound stupid asking but...



...what exactly is the headliner?

[Akirad1]

the cloth like covering in the ceiling of your car that covers the metal of the roof

well can you at least point me in the right direction of what to do
after removing it?

[Spider77]

As far as doing what to it? If your just doing a vis then its pretty easy to locate.

[Spider77]

Tell you what, if Akirad comes by this friday to do his, I'll take some pics and slap them up on here if you would like a visual aid on how to dismember the top of your cars interior. If its ok with him as its his car we doing this on.

[grasby]

[Spider77]

Dont see why not, as there isnt one on the subject.

[Akirad1]

[Spider77]
