We have removed, serviced, and reinstalled two [2] sunroof assemblies in the past month...
If you are going to service the sunroof you MUST remove it, entirely!
Anything less is simply not going to result in a satisfactory outcome.
It is a lot less difficult than people may believe!
It is extremely gratifying when it gets put back in!
Notes:
1] Remove the Glass Sunroof, before you reinstall the Sunroof Housing... reinstall the glass AFTER the assembly is completely bolted back in place, AND the rearward-most attaching brackets [for the glass] are fully pushed forward.
2] Do not place the motor back in place until the Sunroof Glass is completely bolted back in place - and seated properly.
3] Rarely, if ever, will the motor break...
4] It takes extreme abuse/ neglect to break the Guide Cables...
5] ONLY use the correct lubricant... get the REAL lubricant... pay the PRICE required...
6] You will likely never have to do this job again...
Any questions?
PM on FB...
I will be glad to assist...
