eliterit 07-18-2002, 09:18 PM everytime i slide my sunroof back, it goes about an inch or so and stops with the motor still going. i have to give it a push to make it continue. it does this on the same spot when i try to close it as well. Anyone know what i can do? or has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix it? thanks Mike sr20de 07-18-2002, 10:16 PM hey, what would happen if it did get stuck? does our car have that little allen wrench thingy to manually close the sunroof? Its311Pete 07-18-2002, 10:16 PM Well mine will go all the way back but when you start to close it I have to give it a push. I've found that if I stop it about a inch before it stops going back, it will operate without a problem. wolfcri 07-19-2002, 01:19 AM If the problem persists, hit the weatherstrip and mechanicals with some graphite powder. that should help eliterit 07-19-2002, 01:30 AM graphite powder? where can i get some of that? aztecred92 07-20-2002, 04:13 AM Hardware store or most definately from a locksmith. Regarding the same topic, I've used white lithium grease from a spray can with great results. Just be sure to clean the tracks thoroughly prior to its application. Applying vinyl/tire protectant to the rubber gasket helps reduce the friction which goes a long way to prevent the sunroof from sticking. Chris93SER 07-20-2002, 08:54 PM Yes, I have one of those. It came with the car. Mine's located in a wrench pouch in my trunk.

Roll-Mod-L 07-20-2002, 10:31 PM I had the same problem with mine. Every time it got stuck I gave it a little push just like everyone said until it stopped working completely and when this happens no amount of pushing will help it open or close. I found that out at the worst time, in Daytona beach at spring break. Your motor is wearing out, just replace it with a new one. | ||
