sunroof only opens 1/2 way
from the files of fix 1 thing, break 2 more (I just had my motor out)...
my roof decides last weekend to stop opening fully I hear some nominal 'crunch' when it stops I've not worked on roofs before - is there a normal failure mode for something such as this? Step 1 - unzip headliner? Any insight appreciated thanks. And here I'd just been reading the "what surprises you that it still works on your car" thread here and so many mentioned "sunroof"... of course! |

Mine did that when the screw that adjusts the height came out. Or the cable could be broken.
Here's an excellent thread on disassembly/assembly with pics. Sunroof cable repair and new seals 87 911

Actually you'll be surprised how simple it is once you dig into it. Good luck.
