Re: My sunroof is screwed!!

Sounds like you might have a broken cable on one side... You might be able to drop the headliner enough to see what is going on under there with a flashlight, but I am not sure, being a two door car you might have to remove the back window to get the headliner out if you do have to change out the sunroof mechanism, although you might be able to just take the seats out and drop the headiner down and work though the sunroof hole. I've attached some PDF files from the factory service manual for the sunroof, hopefully they will help.

(Mods might want to sticky this, or put them in the service section)

There you go!
I knew you could work it out!
Let us know so if mine ever does that I won't have to "Take a look and see why"

Hope it works out well for you!
