Default Heres a question about sun roofs . . .

I was washing my car one day and happened to look at my sunroof and noticed that there was some dust and sand (Florida) on the sunroof visor (Piece that slides over the closed sunroof . My question is how do I get the sunroof open with out the sun shade moving back with the sunroof at the same time . That dust and dirt is getting on my nerves and there are two pieces of the material on the back that are coming up and I want to push them back down (Black material on the top part of the sunshade). Any help would be appreciated .

if you have an air compressor, close the sunroof, open the cover halfway and get some air in that mother!!!
this sould blow out all the loose dust and debris

he means age/sex/location

btw i don't have a sunroof but can't you hold on to the cover while the glass goes back, just force it around it, then clean it, and sorta snap it back into place?

Could you keep the shade closed and tilt the sunroof up? From outside the car, shove a duster through the open sunroof.

If that doesn't work, sounds like the air compressor is the best idea.

put some white grease on the rails.

do any of you still have the sticker with the part number still on the top part of the visor? i still have mine and it's bugging the hell out of me! i would rather have sand then a huge sticker.
