Adjusting sunroof motor
Is anyone familiar with making this adjustment? What I really want to know is how much and what portion of the headliner has to be loose or removed in order to reach the motor assembly?
Why do I care? At times my sunroof seems to stall while trying to lift up. A slight push is all that's required to get it moving. Never any problems opening further or closing. Tracks are clean and greased.
It's my read of the FWM is that you can adjust the torque setting of the lift-motor assembly, and I think that would allow me to slightly tighten this clutch to resolve this issue.

I also have the same problem, but like he says only a slight push on the sunroof and all works well. I have not been too concerned. If it won't close I have the tool to close or open in glove compartment.

Zyon13B, yes your right. But my problem occurs before that.
About 1/3 the time my sunroof only moves up maybe 1/8 of an inch from its fully closed position, and stalls there unless I give it a gentle push. After that it continues up to the normal first stop position. A second press of the up-button and it fully opens; just like you said. And I never have any issue closing.

tobecontinued, I've not noticed any difference after rain or a car wash, but maybe I just didn't pay enough attention at those times. Does this seem to make a difference on your car?

Sunroof adjustment
I know I am reviving an old thread but after searching it looks as though there is not much on this subject.
My sunroof needs a little push too. I would like to adjust it but unsure of how much is involved in removing the headliner. I don't want to jack it up and not be able to put it back as it should be. Also, not sure if this adjustment would fix the problem or if there is another fix. Thanks
