740 sunroof stuck 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Greg on  Wed Apr 19 05:49 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I just bought a 740 sedan for my sun. I was told that the sunroof had problems but had to try it anyway. When I got it the rear corner drivers side was wedged up into position. It drops abut 1/2 in without the wedge. It slides back OK but when put to vent only the passenger side clears the roof. The drivers side is stuck tight.

Anthing that I can find says to place it in vent and slide back the headliner. I can't. It's stuck. Any suggestions on how to proceed??

Greg

    I had the same problem, once upon a time.... you can open the sunroof all the way, this means you can access the screws that mount the sunroof frame to the car. Once you disconnect...you will be able to manipulate the unit as a whole... I stood on the hood and wiggled the whole sunroof out frame and all! Once out you will probably see that one of the brackets is broken, typical. I would just purchase this part new and recommend replacing both at the same time.

    Good Luck,

    Anastasia
