have another problem
so when i go to open my moonroof i can hear the motor turning but it doesnt do anything

BUT

if i use the little allen wrench thing to start opening it then use the motor it works fine as in opening it all the way and closing it.
but if i go to reopen it when its all the way closed i have to do it again


whats it going to take to fix it?

 

probably the cable is worn or broken. I've had to replace one before.
I went to mazda for an exploded diagram of the whole sunroof. Then took it apart and ordered the part that was broken. Hopefully it's not raining in oregon this week...

LOL

 

same problem here i havnt yet taken it apart i dont want it to leak if i mess up and it doesnt seal again

 

fix it yet?

 

why cant i see your pics on your post? ohh i need one more post for f sakes

 

It's a bitch to take apart. You can usually find one in the classifieds if you don't want to attempt it. Its easy enough to swap over the roof part so you won't have to paint.

 

what?!! I did the whole job in one afternoon...

 

when opening your sunroof holt the open button and just push with your palm on the sunroof.. thats how i open mine. works fine

 

that may be fine if the cable and sliders are just worn, but if they are broken, that will do nothing.
