so .. my sunroof wouldnt open at first, then i started messing around with fuses and found a blown fuse, not sure what one it was, my cars missing the top diagram

anyways, after i changed a few fuses the sunroof opened about 3/4 of the way and wont budge anymore, wont close or anything,

looked at the fuses and everything is fine there..

blown motor?

is there a way to manually close it? im going to look into cleaning the rails later, im just worried about rain as of right now

yeah i searched the forum, but most of the threads were for closed roofs trying to open, and id rather just get some 1 on 1 response per say

thanks

 

my sunroof doesn't work like yours, i never checked for a fuse, I may need to look into that. but anyway if you look for a plastic cover right behind the sunroof from inside the car you'll find a way to close the roof. just pop that cap and make sure you have the right size hex to turn it. That should be it.

 

my cars an 89, there no nothing behind it, the switch to open it is up by the mirror, its all electric...

sorry i dont know much about 2nd gens yet ive only had mine for about a week

 

As previously stated, there should be a plastic plug just behind the sunroof. If you pop that out, you can then use a metric allen wrench to crank the roof closed. I think all models have that feature.

 

d i have to remove the healdiner to find this plastic plug? cuz im not seeing one.....or is it under the rear window, near the hinges?

 

all I did was use some PB blast and clean up the rails (never dropped the headliner) then after it was all clean (using the pb and a rag getting it into all the grooves) I used some silicone spray to lube up the track and wala now my sunroof opens and closes by itself

 

eh i dont even hear th emotor trying to work anymore....

push the botton and i dont hear a damn thing... which sucks because i kind of need this thing to be closed..my seats dont lok that good now, but i sure dont want a otn of water in there....

probably have to take the headlinder off and look at the motor?

 

My car would do the same thing. It turned out to be my ignition. I would lose power to my sunroof and heater controls. All I had to do was jiggle the key a little and it would work.

I <3 electrical problems.

 

well you want to pull the motor for that I guess but the plastic cover is not that far back after the sunroof before the hatch. right in the middle. If you don't have it then.....I don't know what else to tell you.

 

on the inside, on the roof? or when you open the back hatch...on that groove??

 

oh ok well my motor is loud so yeah u would know if it is working or not

 

well damn, anyone got a motor they want to sell?

 

For the itm ebeing, how do i get the window to atleast close, it wont budge , will it just come apart and i can set it in place when im not driving the car (rain purposes) ?

 

ok....go sit in the driver's seat, and tilt the seat back. ok. now look directly above you (looking at the headliner. now move your eyes toward the passenger side of the car. do you see a circular patch of headliner that sticks out? remove that, turn the bolt, and wala!

 

How about a picture?

 

yeah i definately dont have that, ill take some pictures when i get home from work

 

Mostlikely the sunroof wasnt stock with the car. (edit) - Stock Meaning, it was installed after they had purchased the car. Pics would help alot.
Aftermarket Rules! lol, if there isnt that, theres no real way to close it mate, besides having the original manual.
Find out how it was wired, but to not get rain in yer car, invest in a plastic tarp.

 

yeah i think its aftermarket, but the switch looks stock, up in the middle of the lights by the rear view.. idk... picss will come later

 

damn electircal problems, so after getting home turning all the interior lights on, it started to slowly move.....

im thinking i have a bad ground somewhere cuz im having a few little ranom problems.. anyways.. thanks for the help

 

wow you had a fc with no sunroof and yet somebody cut one in there. out of all the rx7's that have one but yours is aftermarket. Please put up pic's, I want to see why the last owner wasted his money to have one put in.

 

Some of them came from the dealer like that. People wanted 7's with sunroofs so the dealer took them to local shops and had them do it.

 

the sunroof LOOKS factory though its really nice, they put alot of time into it

 

is it glass or metal?
glass is a dead give-away for a dealer mod

 

glass

 

the car came with one (the hex thing that is)

at least my 87 t2 did
