Icon2 Problem with Moonroof / Sunroof moving slow.

Hey HT, My brother has a 97 Prelude that has a Slow moving sunroof. And I just stripped My 99 Prelude that had a good working sunroof, So We installed my sunroof into his prelude and the same problem is happening. His sunroof is VERY slow. Is this something a relay can fix?

I am assuming you changed the motor assembly too, no?

Is the aluminum piece where the moonroof slides lubricated? This happened to me once and It worked! GL!

never tried greesing up the tracks.. mine moves a tiny bit slow but still decently fast for a 92 original motor lol.. ill try greasing them up.

Whenever it rains out, i have to put a bit of pressure on the bottom of sunroof to get it to open, it sticks when it rains ha.

Do you know what models came with the glass moonroof?

Yes ALL 5th gens. A lot of 4th genners' retrofit a 5th gen glass into their cars. Do a search for the retrofit DIY.

I have a '97 that is slow and sticky also. I had Honda grease it up when I bought it a couple years ago but it didn't seem to do much.

Like I said, We changed the whole sunroof, with motor with everything. It was working perfect on my car but when we put in on his car the same problem occurs. It moves SLOW, like not enough power is going to the motor or something. Is there a relay for the sunroof?

Thats odd.. maybe its just not getting enough power. check how much voltage is coming over the power wire into the motor maybe?
