Moonroof Tilt Problem
Hi all, just got the SVX back to my place so I'm starting on the maintenance items. I noticed that the moonroof isn't tilting (when you first hit the open moonroof switch). To get the moonroof to open I need to hit the switch for a few seconds, then push up with my hand to tilt the moonroof, then I can hit the switch again and it will open just fine. Closing the moonroof works fine throughout the entire range.
Because closing works fine I think all the motors and gears are ok, so I am thinking that it must be a spring or piston that helps the moonroof tilt that is worn. Do you all agree? What would be the best way to gain access to this assembly to check? Thanks!

Re: Moonroof Tilt Problem
Mine used to get stuck, then i sprayed all the rubber gaskets with silicone. Now it works really well.
Aside from the fact that the initial press of the button doesnt move the sunroof. I have to hit the button, let go and hit it again and it pops up and slides back. Then when i go to close it, it stops halfway closed. then i have to stop and start again. Makes me feel like the cables slipped and maybe something is out of sync.

I'll try spraying the moonroof and see if that frees it up.

Re: Moonroof Tilt Problem
OK de-gunked and sprayed with liberal amounts of silicone and now it works great
