i just bought a 97 GSR, my sunroof doesnt seem to open all the way, how far is it supposed to open? Like ill open the little shade thing and then open the sunroof and once the sunroof hits the shade it stops and the motors sounds like its still trying to push, when i look at it it looks like it should go alot farther back. has this ever happend to anyone? How do i fix it?

well i have a moon roof. Mine goes back till it is like 3 inches short of where the window ends. Mine sounds like it is still trying to push it to. cause it is. Make sure you got grease on it so it slides smooth. A moonroof is auto a sun roof is pernament. get it right too.

Try rubbing lithium grease on the track, it might be getting sorta stuck.

I had a little trouble with mine sticking. I took shop towels and cleaned out the crappy grease that was in the tracks and sprayed a good amount of silicone lubricant in the tracks. Smooth as silk now. Just be careful when you are spraying so that you dont get any inside the car.

Don't use silicone.....it will eventually dry and harden. Lithium grease is much better.

It sounds to me like it is working properly. on my '99 GSR, from front of sunroof to inside lining of sunroof opening is approx. 3.25 inches. It does stop when it reaches the shade and the motor doesn't stop; this is normal.
I believe that a transparent panelled roof is called a moonroof and a non-transparent panelled roof is called a sunroof, but I don't sweat it.

Yea, I think that is right. It is the same way in my 98 GSR. If you look at it from the outside you can tell it isn't going to go any further.
