Hey has anyone taken off their sunroof yet. I tried to but its soo hard!! I put in the wrench sticks or whatever you call them to take out the screws and it want to strip the bolt when i take it off. Anyone got any ideas??

whhhaaaaa?!? why would you do that? I LOVE my roof. I would never dream of getting rid of my sunroof/moonroof whatever you wanna call it. mine is open always. (except in rain, but even then the cover is back to still look out of it)

 

[ChopstiX]

no I am trying to change out the actual moonroof cause its cracked. I bought another one to install.

 

[NeoSilverTeg]

[ChopstiX]

I dont know how to take one out but was wondering if anyone knows how to fix one ...Mine drags on the way out but slides back in fine should I just lube it up?

halfac, yep just lube it up, there is another post where they recomend what to use but can't find it. maybe someone will let you know.

chop, i have taken it off, what part were you having problems with, i am taking it off soon again cause i am getting white vinyl installed on it.

I am having troubles with taking out the screws. I dunno if its been soo long and rusted so i am having probs or what.. but I tried with all my power and it sorta just stripped it. Wont budge at all!

I have that same chattering bullsh*t. I cleaned it out and filled it with grease. Still does it.

i tried to lube mine up too but it didn't work, so now i just reach my hand up and pull down down on the roof while it is sliding open. quickfix

i got that same chattering too when i open it. it also does it when you close it fully from the tilt position. i looked at it close the other day and wiggled it and you can see where the runners almost look worn out, i don't think there's anything i can do to fix mine besides get some new pieces.

how much does a new sunroof run? mines also cracked.

Try an impact skrewdriver on the skrews. It's bassicly a skrewdriver that when you hit the handle with a hammer it turns the bit, pretty much any hardware store will have em.

(But dont go pounding on it too hard, dont want to damage you're roof lol)

 

[bluersx510]

just roll by a dealership, they will lube it wht some legit stuff.. looks like a toothpaste stuff.. they took care of me..

The clearance is so tight and most allen keys are so tiny, that you can't get a good angle on it.

I was able to get mine out by removing the engine assembly, tiling the assemble on its side, and manually opening the unit just a few inches. If you are striping the head, make sure you are using the correct size, which is 5.5mm, if I'm not mistaken.

It's a real PIA. If you've already got another unit, just pop the glass with a hammer and make yourself some clearance.
