Default sunroof Q?

well, my sunroof is SLOW, and i'm afraid of snapping the cable, and I recently picked up a new upholstered cardboard flap thing(yes that's the technical term...) I want to pop it out and clean/lube everything. what's involved with this? I've been told to avoid it at all costs, but I'm willing to tackle this if it is that hard

Default It's not all that bad IIRC. There are springs that hold the flap into place...

The springs have small hooks on either end, and the loop through eyes on the bottom of the sunroof panel. The Bentley has a great diagram of this-check that first.

This might be a little fuzzy as I haven't been in there in a while.

HTH,
Jim

Default i'm missing a spring!

anyone know where i can get some?

yeah, if you remove the headliner flap and hold the metal plate down, the sunroof slides back.

thanks,
Robby
