Re: Sunroof blues

I had something similar occur on my 86 4KCSQ, and also on the power sunroof
of an '85 Quantum.

On the 4K, it occurred during cold wx, and I used a combination of degreaser
and WD-40 (called what I had available at the time) to clean out the runners
and guides.  Then I re-lubbed it with a light weight white lithium spray.  No
problems since (approx four yrs ago I'd guess).

On the Quantum, I tried the same treatment, but it seemed to have more of a
fibre type cable on it (at least it was more visible) and my attempts at the
same solution made little discernable difference.  Sold the car soon
afterwards so I don't know if I really just made it worse or not.

It the roof was running at normal speeds, and just stopping early, or not
stopping in the closed position I'd say that it's the micro-switches out of
adjustment.  That is a current problem with my wife's 100.  Sometimes it just
won't even try to move, other times it works fine except that it doesn't know
when it's full open, full closed, or.....  When this happens it just
transitions to the next direction and keeps right on moving.
