my sunroof doesnt work. the power motor and switch are fine, but the cable /pulley may be broken.....at first it would open, but I would have to help close it...by pulling it along shut, now it gets jammed up and wont even open....so I just leave it alone....but would like to know what I should do about it....

how often do you use it?

My friend's sunroof died cuz he never really used it. I open and close mine about 4 times a week to make sure that doesn't happen to me. I also lube the rails to prevent friction.

To answer your question, I'd ask the dealer the next time you see him and ask. You don't have to have it fixed there, it might cost you an arm and a leg. If you're in Southern California, there is a great custom sunroof place in Newport Beach, they've been there since I was born in 1980.

sorry bro time to spend some money

i paid 350 and i took it to a local glass shop where they did hte job ...
it came off the tracks ur payin mostly for labour because it is a tuff job to do. due to the facthat the whole roof must come off...
the problem was that one of the pulleys was damaged or somethin didnt quite understand...

AND the roof LEAKS NOW!!!!!
they did a **** job installin i took it back and they fixed it asgain but still leaks at carwashes and when it rains heavily.
