rx collector, you might want to remove the liner and drop the sunroof out, i think your rail could have rusted out or maybe the drain hose is clogged, that will make it leak inside and make those seatbelts nice and stinky lol. tp check the drain hose, pull the liner off, you will see all 4 hoses, just pull them off and use high pressure air to clean them out. if its rust, you will see it around the hose connection. that my friend, you will have to pull the sunruff, apply navel jelly to kill the rust and after its clean. bondo it and spray paint it with a good rustolum paint. doesnt matter, its hiden from public view lol

yeah mine takes forever and when it gets to the point wher it closes i have to tap the buttons back and forth to get it to set down. i guess i could clean it, but i just dont use it enough to worry about it

Mine usually goes pretty slow because i roll up the windows while i'm closing it. The windows get closed first, then when i let off the window switches the sunroof speeds up. Its pretty decent though, what i'd expect from any sunroof from an 89.

Mine opens like a champ, but as soon as you try and close it, you usually have to pull it shut.

the cursing in different languages is always fun. especially when someone in the next car knows what you're talking about. ^_^
