Sunroof ajar

[ckmaggie]

Just noticed that rear part of my sunroof (driver side) was not snug against roof. I replaced cables and felt a few weeks back and all has been fine since then. I am familiar w sunroof components but wanted to see anyone had similar issue before I began to tear apart.

I took the headliner cover off the sunroof and all visually appears ok. Pushing up from the inside of the car is not making it fit properly. Passanger side is snug. Motor sounds fine. Seems weird.

Thanks for any tips.

Mine does this sometimes but I just push the button and hold it for a few more seconds and it closes all the way. You probably tried this but I thought just maybe??

There are adjustments on the sliders that the cable fits into. Look closely to see how they will adjust to push the sunroof up tightly.

The adjusters were set fine when I reinstalled the roof. I suppose they could have come loose.

If there are no plastic washers to allow movement, they will unscrew and fail to press upwards.

From your description, it sound more like the cables aren't aligned back at the motor/drive-gear.

If the gap remains constant throughout the travel of the roof panel then your cables are not aligned properly. If the alignment changes just before the panel seals then it needs to be adjusted via the ratcheting height adjustment screw.
