yea well ealier today it rained really hard and i left my sunroof open on tilt. I run to to the car to close it but now it doesnt work...

theres a small click when i press the switch but does not move at all.

please tell me theres a relay or something other than the motor? Its still raining and i need to get it closed asap!

happened to me, their 3 gears in your sunroof motor, the middl one is plastic, the outer two are metal probaly stripped out,....have to get a new motor.

for now make sure nothing is impeding the tracks, like gunk and leaves what not, if it still wont budge, take off sunroof control and you will see a big flathead screw, turn that with a BIG flathead and you can manually close the roof, be carefule beacuase its hard to turn and I actually stripped it back then

aaahhh. ok thanks a lot for the info, but if i close it will i be able to replace the motor when its time?



oh sorry nvm

i understand now, i didnt even know you could do that...

you can replace the motor anytime, you will have to remove your visors, rear view mirror and headliner to get to it, then their are about 6 bolts holding your sunroof in place, best to have a friend help cuz it wieghs about 50 lbs. I'm good at doing by myself now. once sunroof is out you jsut unbolt the motor from the sunroof. THen get a new motor and bolt in on and put everything back toghether. trst me get a motor from ebay,...parts and labor is riduclous no matter where you go...i reearched.

expect about 30 min to take out and 30 -45 to put everything back to gehter...all tho now I can do it all in 30 min

i know so much about this cuz i had a nightmare story...my sunroof stuck in the dead of wnter wide open and i was force to use duct tabe for a month, man that sucked......once you get it closed keep it closed till u get a new motor
