Default *sunroof update* I can get it closed...without having to do it manually...but..

The visor that goes with it was the reason it wouldn't close....it is not coming out with the sunroof like it should...I have to guide it out with my hands...any ideas on what to look at? Aside from that, it closes just fine. I don't know if it is retracting and getting stuck?

Default I would leave it alone until you have time to drop the headliner

and take a closer look. If something broken, and jams up the sunroof while you're trying to force it open, you'll likely to cause some very expensive damage. Sound like your issue right now might be relatively cheap to fix (aside from the nuisance of dropping the headliner).

I don't imagine with a SN like that he is the type to leave it alone.

Default It was more of a request...

because I can foresee of the onslaught of questions that precede the "search".

Default Have to agree with RKA on this one

I had a problem with mine before I found AW. I didn't force it but none the less it was broken pretty bad. Total cost of repairs was a lot higher then I thought it would be. 489.89 to replace the piece of plastic that broke and the bent guide rail. Be careful with it and wait to get the headliner down! Good luck

I have seen people pay closer to 1G for sunroof repairs.

yeah, my recollection is that they aren't cheap. Count your blessings Howie.
