Sunroof won't open ...

[russ]

Go to work this morning, and my Sunroof wouldn't shut. There was a slight noise from it's motor at first, but now ... nothing !!!

Anybody had this problem before ? ... and if so, how was it fixed ?

1 remove the front headliner trim panal
2 using the 6mm hex key that is included with the tool kit, insert the key into the hex socket and turn the socket to close the sunroof.

this will close your sun roof till you cna get the motor or what ever is wrong fixed

sounds like you need to get the sunroof motor replaced. i had to get mine replaced 4 months ago.

Nah it's all good. Fixed it myself.

Went an got a new (used) motor for it, got it home, and it was the wrong one. Was basically the same, but a few of the wire connections were different.

Anywas, I noticed that the pring-coil type thing that moves with the cog piece had a few pieces squashed together. So the cog wasn't able to get in between and turn. Just sat there unable to move in either direction. So I just grabbed a flat-head screwdriver, seperated the coil-spring thingy's, and presto ... it works !

Then took back the other motor, and got a refund.
