I'm not sure if this is the right section, so if it isn't mods please move it.

Here's the deal. I have a 95 EX Coupe and the sunroof is acting a little weird. When I use the "vent" option the roof works well. It raises to the appropriate angle and everything. However, the issue comes in when I try to open the roof all the way back. It will "squat" for lack of a better term and drag along the car's roof. Instead of sitting at the real angle of about 30 degrees, it looks like it is at about 10 degrees (if this makes an sense).

When I try to close it, it will drag along the top and it takes forever to close. Usually I have to 'help' it along. When it does finally close, the weather stripping sticks up on the sides of the roof as if there is something preventing them from going in correctly.

I assume the motor is shot, but is there anything else that you guys know of? And before someone says it, I love the sunroof so NOT using it isn't an option.

Pull the inspection plug out and make sure the motor is not loose. this is a common problem in the EG the sunroof motor.

My EG i bought the roof would pop up but when you went to slide it back it would skip and go sideways. It was the motor it was loose and it chewed up the cables. I bought 3 sunroof assepmblies and every single one but one the motor was loose. The motor that was tight worked perfect.

make sure you clean and grease the tracks. That is a must, if you want your sunroof opening and closing smooth.. thats what i did to mine and its perfect.

Awesome, OK. It's raining like crazy right now, but I will do this first thing in the morning. Will White Lithium Grease be good enough? All I have at the house is that and WD-40. I figure the Lithium would be better for it.

just spray some brake cleaner and clean as much of the old grease from the track as possible and then spray white lithium grease on the track, open and close the sunroof and you should b good...if you want...spray a **** load

Well, I cleaned the rails and then sprayed the heck out of them with White Lithium Grease....and she works like a charm.

Thanks guys.
