Exterior

Sunroof Adjustment

I have a problem with the back edge of my sunroof not closing tightly. Can anyone out there
help?

TIA,

With the sunroof almost closed, disengage the liner from the front of the inside of the sunroof
and slide it back. You will see an adjustment on both rear sides of the roof. My 83 had that
problem and all I had to was hold the rear of the sunroof up in position while the screws were
tightened.

Good Luck,

After numerous attempts and two "take it off, lube and remount sessions", I finally was able to
fix my sunroof that never seemed to have enough "oomph" to close itself all the way without
a little manual help. Under (actually, above) the sunroof motor cover lies the motor and
gearbox that drives the sunroof fore and aft. There's a circular unit attached to the motor that
acts as a transmission, in the middle of which is a brass screw. By tightening it slightly, the
sunroof now closes completely and more quickly. The screw must tighten a "clutch",
applying more force to the drive mechanism.

At any rate, I just wanted pass this along to anyone who seems to have everything else in
working order with the system, but whose sunroof seems just a little tired.
