Looking for ideas. My wife's 88 744 power sunroof is stuck. One rear corner is down. The other is up. It's fully closed. The switch works and the motor runs a tiny bit in each direction. The roof goes up a tiny bit (1/8 inch?) but won't drop down, or pop up, or slide. It's pretty well thoroughly screwed.
Friendly advice has mainly been along the lines of, get a replacement unit that works, complete, with tracks, panel, etc., and rip this one out of there, not worrying too much about what breaks.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it at all, and just live with the thing broken in the closed position... except it lets a lot of water in, and I can't get to the drains to clear them if it's stuck closed. Taping it up already proved to be a poor course of action. :(
Advice and been-there-done-that's would be appreciated. BTW the headliner in the thing is already destroyed so there's no real worry there!
Thanks in advance.
