RE: sunroof not closing
ORIGINAL: opus13
so i suppose the next stage of my questions would be:
an open sunroof in a colorado summer is no big deal... but its not going to be summer forever. how do i at least get them closed? is there a mechanical backup hidden somewhere (like my old saab?)

RE: sunroof not closing
ok, first off, do not disconnect the battery, its not stopping becuse of a code, electrical malfunction, etc.
there are a few screws that hold the glass to the track arm, bet if tyou go to it rigth now with it open you could slide the glase forward and backward without the track arm moving... anyway, adjust glass so it closes then re-tighten up scres, they all always work loose...

Good question, my other vehicles had a manual crank that could be inserted, I don't know if ours does or not, I'll look this afternoon and get back to you on that.

Well I went out and checked, there is a smal rectangle shaped cover that can be removed and a hand crank can be installed to close the sun roof when all else fails.I bought my truck used and didn't get the handle, may look into buying one from Rover.

RE: sunroof not closing
Just to clarify. DI sunroofs have 6+ TIB's attempting to fix issues with them. Lube is good but they have many problems. There is a manual override available to close the roof in case of an electrical failure. Remove the front dome lamp and use a 5 mm allen to close the roof. This will not work if there is a mechanical failure within the roof. Every part has been redesigned. You need someone who knows what they are doing. Labor is intensive because of the need to remove the headliner before repairs.

RE: sunroof not closing
thank you. that did the trick.
for the benefit of other people reading this in the future:
the front sunroof ECU is behind the front domelight, and not the manual override. there is a little plastic cover very close to both of the sunroofs, approximately 1"x2" in size. pop those off with a small screwdriver to reveal the allen wrench hole. keep in mind that a good amount of force (more than the average hand can exert) will be needed. use a hand wratchet if possible.
