Im having a problem getting the sping to move the bottom one move finfe but the other is a pain. That sucker wont budge i tryed so many ways to get it to move but no luck mite be rusted 4 good even tho every thing eles works fine. Any suggestions???

 

I'm pretty sure I just need a new one, as I believe the previous owner broke it.

mine refuses to move at all, I have the headliner off and I e tried the tool to do it manually and still no. When I hit the switch, the motor turns for maybe an eight of a turn and stops. Also, if I push up on the sunroof, the passenger side lifts freely.

 

OK so if one of the cables has broken how exactly do you replace it? They are crimped on to the slider so 1. where can a buy a new cable? 2. how do i put it on?
I'm pretty sure its broken, of course i'm going to have to pull it find out.
Good idea with the shims, that and the rewire should really help.

 

I did much the same to mine cleaned out old grease with a rag and light oil... it didnt clean as well but the job did get done then i wiped it out and regreased it using a small brush like a painters brush. and i havent had to take it all apart yet but if i do i will be refering to this thread...

Thanks for the time and the Pictures on this.

 

It would be a good idea to spray some break cleaner down in the copper tubes that
house the track driving springs (whatever those would be called). Because for me,
they became so clogged with dusty grease that on track seized which caused the
motor to break the drive spring. If you have the assembly out definitely blast out
those copper tubes. Nice write up!

 

im having problems taking the motor for the sunroof. there are 3 screws but i cant take get them out. i tried pv blaster, and wd40 but dont seem to help.

 

I wish i found this before i ripped my poor car apart
