Re: looked in FAQ, neeed more help on manual sunroof 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Zach on  Mon Jul 30 23:09 CST 2001 [RELATED]

1) I'm not sure where you're seeing the springs. I've only seen one per side on my 700s. They are seen when the sunroof is in the vent position and the interior panel is pulled down (looking into the cracked sunroof from the outside of the car). If you do have two per side I would say that both should be removed.

2) I get about 1.5 inch lift on my sunroof (if you can't your fingers in the opening you won't be able to get the springs loose).

3) To get the lining out I took the whole sunroof off, which is pretty easy once the springs are loose and the lining is free to slide back and forth. However, that panel does not like to come out (I really forced mine -both out and back in), so I would suggest trying to reupholster it in the car (though that's not much fun either).
