[V8] Sunroof troubleshooting...

[Ron Wainwright]

Nick, give me a call... will be easier to explain how to remove than e-mail.

 But for the archives.......

tilt the roof so it's up.
from the outside push the sunroof pad down & you'll see two springs. I use a pice of coat hanger in a J. Use that to reliece the two springs.
Once you do that get back in the car & close the roof.
Once you do that you'll be able to push the sunroof pad back into the roof.
 Lift the sunroof again & you'll be able to inspect the tracks ect......

 To remove the sunroof metal you'll notice two 13mm nuts @ the front & four (two per side) phillips head screws.
 remove those & you'll be able to take the sunroof out.
