The motor is basically above the sunroof switch/map light module. The removable plug right in front of the module gives you access to the motor shaft, which you can turn with a flat blade screwdriver to open or close the roof should you have no power or the switch is bad. Here's a diagram...https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuse...0-%20Liter-GAS
When I first bought my '87 in '06, the switch was NFG. Went on ebay, found an entire replacement module, still works great today 9 years later. If your motor isn't working, first check the sunroof relay under the hood, driver's side by the batt. I doubt your motor is bad...

Thank you for the info..I will look into this...the roof does open and close, but the motor makes a loud noise and doesnt sound healthy at all.

This is what the sunroof motor on my current '87 sounds like...
When I bought my first '87 brand new, the motor in that girl sounded the same. Obviously, I need to lube the tracks...
