Default Loose sunroof fix?

The sunroof on my 89 CRX Si is loose when it is opened all the way, if you pick up on the rear most part it will move up and down. It seems like the rails are worn out or something, just wondering if there was a fix for this. Thanks

You'll need to look to see if the roof is moving where it bolts to the rail slides or if the rail slides are moving in the tracks.

The two 10mm bolts are tight, theres movement where the rails and tracks meet. I kinda think it's just worn out, just wondering if this was a common thing and there was a fix for it.

I'm looking at the service manual (we have the same car, if you didn't remember what year my silver beast was). It gives two probable causes for a vibrating sunroof. #1 is a worn rear slide bracket, and #2 is improperly installed guide rails. So I'm guessing that you are right about wear, and it's the rear slide brackets. It says to remove the brackets and inspect for excessive wear; replace if necessary. Or live with it. EFs are old.

I have the same damn problem, when I go at around 65 miles/hour my sunroof is kinda floating that makes tons of noise. like if I had a window open a little, very annoying.
