Sunroof dilemmas

[Civic Type R]

OK peeps this is mainly directed at those who have a VTir factory fitted sunroof.
On many occasions my sunroof wont slide back. You can tilt it up then close but it still wont go. You try many different methods - as im sure we've all played with the 3 buttons but still says "no"

Sometimes it works and sometimes it wont.
Has anyone got any light they can shed on this ?

cheers :)

gees...your topic header left me assuming you are removing your sunroof<laffz>

anyway, i haven't as yet experience your mentioned...however honda has a lil tool for you to open up some screws or whatever to the sunroof...i have the tool that came with the car ..but have never used it:)

have u tried readig up the manual...coz that where i found out whats the tool is for:)

Check the wiring behind the sunroof buttons/controller... the plug may be loose.

does it sound like its jamming when you attempt to slide the roof open or does it sound dead ?

Check your contacts. I dont own a VTiR but it could be an electrical problem more than anything. Your contacts might have had condensation on them (which in turn turns into vapour/water) and could have rusted the switch etc. Just check out your switches if you have time, it could save you a bit of money on repairs :)

no it sounds like its trying to slide back but it doesnt go.
I'll check the bolts and screws tonite and let you know if the problm still exists.

:roll: my car is breaking down :roll:

Worst case scenario is that your sunroof motor is dead....

my sunroof makes like a shuddering noise towards the end of its journey as its almost fully open, anyone know how i can fix this.????

Try a grease or a bit of RP7.. Unless there is a specfic honda one then that will more than likely do the trick. It has on the sunroof i did it to (Mazda 929)

naa my motor isnt dead.
It just gets PMS at times - it works when it wants to ...

I haven't had that happen to my car, but my skyline sunroof would do that all the time.
