sunroof adjustments?

the rear of my sunroof sits a lil lower than the front...

this doesn't seem normal. is there a way to adjust the sunroof?

also, when the roof is tilted, the opening is pretty small. less than an inch, maybe only half an inch...

anyone else have these probs too?

I had this problem on my car, it was pretty slight but I was able to fix it.

Basically what you have to do is unscrew the black cover over the outside edges of the sunroof (driver and passenger side), shoudl be near the back if I remember right. Then just put washers to lift the glass up farther.

Yup, washers or spacers, when I replaced mine, they were metal "horse-shoe" like metal peices, you can take off or add depending on how you want the sunroof to sit. If I recall correctly, there are 4 places in total where the spacers should be, 2 on front and 2 on rear.
