waltmail Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Yup. The motor/roof is lazy. This a 2nd hand sunroof I purchased from an ex vendor. It was a Mazda RX7 unit. It installed and worked "fairly well" when I installed it. 2 -3 years later, it got lazy. I very rarely drive it. Going to service the motor as it pops free with just 3 screws. Local guy is very good at rebuild. He has done work for me in the past on other restoration products. I have not been able to find a replacement motor if necessary to be the solution.

waltmail Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I had the motor rebuilt. It is better but still needs major hand boost. Maybe my next step is to drop the assembly and attempt to lube the cable tunnels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tb3 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 is there a hand-crank that came with the sunroof cars to manually close them?is there anyway to slowly crank it and check for hang-ups/alignment issues?dissasemble the motor enough to access the brushes and blow/clean them out real good with compressed air? dunno, just trying to throw some ideas out there for ya.
