My sun roof slides back, but it won't prop open on one side. I gutted another vr4 that I bought wrecked, hoping to swap the entire unit into mine, but it has the same problem. Has anyone dealt with this? I tried searching the archives, but nothing stuck out to me. Thanks.

It will do this if it physically broken. Sunroof in the black car has been dead for years, just like this. I can get it to slide back, but it will only pop up on one side. Some kinda pin is sheared off in the linkage.

Personally I'd love to see some-one build an moon-roof replacement similar to what you find in a 1G. Remove the motor entirely and just make it hinged in the front with a prop/latch in the rear.

Hey all,

here's the section from the 1989 galant tehnology manual that shows how the sunroof mechanism works:








Hope this helps,

It, sounds like a cable problem. pull the side trim unre the glass and there are 6 nuts holding the glass to the runners, Pull these and you can lift the glass out. Drop mthe interior light and you can pull the sunroof motor and gear assembly. then you can manually run the side lift brackets eithe rside both for ward and backward and check out the linkage from up top, and throught the motor pinion hole underneathe you can check to see the cable has all its teeth intact.

Hope this helps,

Rich
