Greetings. The only thread I could find on this was six years old, so I figured I'd start a new one instead of hijacking that old one. My 88 sunroof wasn't closing (dropping into place) on the passenger side. Driver side would seat itself fine. Reading through other posts, I figured I had a broken bump stop in the track as people had said. Pulled it apart, replaced all the stops, which were still in great condition, then as I was bolting it all back, I could see the one side was not dropping in as it should.

In that old thread, Tyson spoke of a broken white "clip" maybe that could cause it, but never found that or any pieces. Does anyone have a pic of what I should be looking for to use as reference? I also cleaned the switch up good and that wasn't the problem. Could this be a motor problem? I never use the sunroof, so I'm guessing I could just crank it shut and be done with it.

 

I remember this happening to e too and I replaced the cips and it resolved it. There are 4 in total.

 

Thanks for the reply. I replaced all those thinking it was the problem, and they were fine. I found something that I bet relates on an old thread search from another site. The rear lift mechanism probably went out. I think the only way to fix is put an entire new sunroof in. Certainly not something I'm too excited about. I'll just spin it down and call it a day.

 

It doesn't break in pieces. And you're screwed. It's not replaceable separately.

 

as always, thank you Tyson for your knowledge and insight! You are an amazing asset here.

 

Here's more specific info.
