(Ugh) 4kq Sunroof Problems
Its happened.
My sunroof, which worked wonderfully last fall when I bought the
car, now has a problem. MOtor works fine, tilts fine. But I notice two
problems. maybe Three. I think they are related.
FIrst thing I noticed is that it doesnt sit level. Pass Side
likes to sit higher than driver side. I can make it level with my hand
while closing it form tilt position but on its own its not level which
makes it hard to keep it from rattling or letting wind noise in.
Two. Rattleing. My other 84' does this to and I think its due to
a broken arm of some sort that rattle when the sunroom is closes normally.
Open it either way and it goes away. BUt then you have wind to deal with.
:-) I dont think this is related to my opening problem but both cars do
this so I thought I'd post it
Three, Other related opening problem. Wont slide back. It tries
to, shifts but one side seems to not want to move while other side moves
fine. Pass side (side that likes to ride higher than othe side) seems to
not clear the roof. I push it down lightly and it opens. slowly. I
close it. I comes back out with scrathes on the top of Sunroof Panel on
Pass (high) side. Oops.
That brings me to last problem. Both of my cars, when opened,
seem to jam on the Sunroof wind defelctor. If I hold down deflector
untill they clear it then it works fine but deflector doesn't lower soon
enough.
I've looked in Benly but its confusing. ANyone have experience
with this that they would like to share??? This is No Mans Land for me on
the 4kq. On any car for that matter. Its about the only thing I haven't
done besides a Turbo Swap and I'm tackling that this spring. :-)
