Sunroof removal?

LaMaR- · 02-14-2011, 05:40 PM

Hey guys I have been trying to pull my sunroof on my FC and cant seem to get it out. I was told to pull the 4 bolts in the rear which I have and It seems to be stuck in there, Is it just stuck up there and I need to really just yank on it? Or am I missing something?

All the bolts on the sides... I believe 6 all totatl and I believe a few in the front as well? Don't forget the electrical connectors. And pull the actual sunroof itself out before going for the frame, that motherfucker is HEAVY!

It's not that heavy.

Sounds like the two nuts towards the front are difficult to reach- you may have to crank the sunroof open a bit to see them.

Good luck.

Its heavy enought to cause a 2 hr bleeder on your head

See the 4 copper colored mounts (2 on each side)? Remove the single nut from the car side on each of those.

I'll get some pics up of the bolts later tonight, i dont have a headliner. Even after he removes the bolts theres those sort of studs that i guess are to get the sunroof even with the car roofline that you have to loosen.

The nut in above pic with the clip thing under it need to be loosened. It does not come off of the sunroof. It stay on it.

See the brass colored bracket? Just that big bolt in the middle comes out. The bracket does not need to come off the sunroof.
