Default My moonroof only opens halfway *help*

Ever since I bought my car my moonroof only slides open halfway. For what it seems it doesn't look like it needs lube.

open up? Or slides backwards? When it slides backwards it opens all the way when it goes "UP" it is only suppose to open up a little bit thats so the rain doesn't get in but lets air in is that what you were asking?

if everyone is telling you thats how everyones civic is, you should listen.

Your civic isnt one of ten billion to have a roof that opens all the way.

In the Si you can "open" the moonroof and it cracks the rear, allowing air to come in, or you can "OPEN!" the moonroof, as in have it slide about 2/3rds of the way back in its track, above the roofline.

This is normal and perfectly functional and no other factory Si will do anything otherwise.

in answer to his question, i thought the same about mine when i got it, so i checked it out, and after i dismanntled the sunroof, i found a twig in the mech.

i removed it, greased up and cleaned the mech while i was in there anyway, put it back together, and it now opens ALL the way, all the way was only 2" further back than it was, going, but it was a big improvement.

If you own a civic and your referring to the civic sun roof then your a ******* idiot.

I have a 98 EX, and when the moonroof slides back, theres only maybe 2-3" of the window that doesnt slide all the way in, and when cracking it up and down, it only opens maybe like 2" upwards from the roof, if that.
