I went off roading today and durring that time I put like 50lbs of pressure on the back left part of the sun roof when it is open. Now when it closes the back part on the left side does not rise up to complete the seal. Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

nope but your gonna have to take the head linder out.. can you close it manual with a screw driver?

 

I dont know how to do that. I tryed pushing up on the thing it helf for a couple seconds then fell back down.

 

ok, update on the sunroof. I stuck a flathead into the raising mechanism and pushed it up till it locked in place. It is sealed now, but it wont go down, it is locked in the UP position. Any Ideas?

 

youll have to take the headliner off to see whats up.. you prolly broke the track or something
but the junkyard will be your friend!

i just got a sunroof in my 4th toyota... and its AMAZING!! so i feel your pain

 

where can I find information to do that?

 

prolly the factory service manual there is a link in the top of the 98-95 truck section or just search.... removing the headliner cant be too hard but i have never done it..

maybe someone else will chiime in whos been there before.

 

Ok thanks a lot man!

 

just a heads up... you probably just broke the cables that actuate the sunroof... i did on both sides of mine...

as far as my dealership is concerned, they cant order the individual parts (like the cables) but call up some junk yards or get ahold of DC and see if he has them...

and yes, you will need to pull both the back panels, all the dome lights and the head liner... thats the reason that i havent done mine yet...

 

It can still Go up and down though, electronically. OK I will hit the junkyards, got to get some stuff there anyways, one more thing to add to the list.

 

Ok..but who's DC and how does one go about getting ahold of him?
