yo i finally got my car but i got this sunroof problem. its a 95 ex and the sunroof seems to be jammed. it will move a little but it just wont pop up. any suggestions? anyone ever have this problem? if anyone can recommend a shop in the l.a. to pasadena area, that would help. thanks

 

try opening it manually with the little tool you should have

 

could you be a little more clear, i just bought this car so i dont have the "little tool"

 

there should be a tool that looks like an allen wrench

well it kind of is in the shape of an allen wrench, but i think it's a star bolt and not allen bolt

 

Open her up manually and do a nice lube job.

Sunroofs are over rated. Weld it shut and call it a day.

Look at the spare tire well, if it came with the factory tools, there should be an "S shaped" allen wrench style tool. On the headliner of your car, there should be a plastic cap, pull it off and use the tool to "crank" it open. If you're hitting the button, and it's just struggling to pop up, push the button and push up on the roof at the same time, it should pop open.

Works for me all the time.

 

alright, it actually pops up and opens! i just lubed that sucker w/ wd-40 and it works, thanks h-t'ers

now the next problem is it just hesitates when it gets halfway open it's like the motor isn't strong enough and it makes 2 little scratches on my roof. from those plastic/metal things on the back of the sunroof? anyway of fixing this? let me know if im not speaking enlish, i just want to get this roof opening smoothly w/out hesitation

 

Hmm, might need to be adjusted, sounds like it's out of alignment if it's hitting the roof with the tracks, or the screws the hold it in place maybe loose, causing it to sag.

 

damn, anyone have a picture of how this thing is disassembled?

edit: thanks for you help rodrez

Always posting something stupid.

 

I have a sunroof on my 95 si hatchback , I had a problem with my sunroof sticking to the tilt position, but would not slide , what i did was use a degreeser i cleaned the tracks and then lude it with white grease like factory works good now

 

actually, it moves fine now, its just that the sunroof itself is too low and its scratching my roof, how do i adjust the height on this?

 

bump for how to adjust the sunroof

 

You dont want to lube it with wd40. Clean that off and put some "white" grease like 95sihb said. I cant think of the name of the stuff right now...someone will know what I am talking about.

 

anyone else? how to adjust the sunroof to make more clearance from the roof?

 

bump

 

What do you mean more clearance?

 

when i open the sunroof, it goes up and then back only so far, then goes up a little bit more to clear the roof, and back all the way, but when mine goes all the way back, it scrapes the roof, and really pisses me off because my car is damn there flawless, so there must be a way to adjust the sunroof to be a little more higher so i wont have this problem. i mean, if it can scrape my roof which it shouldn't then it should be able to be adjusted to not scrape it, bump

 

bump...well.....because i need an answer
