I got a 88 and i bought it like 2 weeks ago and the sun roof isint workink so i was wondering were is the sun roof motor supose to be located

 

The motor is underneath the headliner at the rear of the sunroof. If you look at the headliner there is a small circle 1.5" diameter roughly. You can pop that out and use an allen key to manually operate the sunroof...if the motor is dead or the tracks are gummed up.

This will not work if there is an actual mechanical failure in the sunroof mechanism (such as the cable snapping on one side or the other, which is unfortunately rather common).

Good luck!

 

There have been some thorough write-ups on sunroof removal and repair. I haven't needed to do this yet on my car because my roof works fine, but here are some threads to check out:
