1985.5 Sunroof retrofit
Anyone have any experience retro fitting an 1986-944 sunroof cable and motor assembly to an 85.5?
Everything fits and operates but I will have to manufacture a couple of braces. The only problem I notice is it must be manually controlled, i.e. there doesn't appear to be an automatic cut-off when the sunroof reaches full open or closed. Possible issue with microswitch differences? The sunroof never worked when I bought the car and I don't know if this is normal operations or not. Any inputs are greatly appreciated. |

Factory manuals have several pages on refitting the new sun roof drive assemblies to the old. You will need the entire unit -- motor, cable, gear boxes, arms, etc.

You might also check the tech info center on the top tab, it has some info about how to replace the drive gears and explains a little about how they work with regards to the microswitchs if I remember correctly. Probably best to follow Hugh's advice first.
