Default Could I get some details on how to remove the sunroof motor?...........

I lubed the sunroof tracks which didn't help. Used lithium grease. I guess I'll try to get the motor out myself if I can get some instructions on how to do it.
Sunroof gets stuck open sometimes, then will slowly go closed.
I remember Miktip said he cleaned his motor and put it back in so I'll try that. What did you use to clean it, brake cleaner?

Default I removed mine...

I removed mine.. it never hurts to disconnect the battery so i would do that.. then with a screwdriver or something pry off the dome light square where the light and the sunroof switch is... u will see the sunroof motor there. there is a few screws.. 3 if i rember correctly to drop the sunroof motor down. you will see the hand crank tool for the motor too. disconnect the wiring and you have yourself a removed sunroof motor. ;D

Default There's actually 6 screws up there

but only 3 hold the motor in place. Look it over for a bit, and you'll see which ones are the right ones. I used to have a pic showing the right 3, but it's lost amid the piles of stuuf on my desk.

Mike Roberts has a pic too.
