moon roof help!

[halfpinoythug]

So yesterday i noticed my moon roof wouldnt open
I can crack it open and close it, but it doesnt want to slide back.
I checked the fuse and it was fine. So im guessin its the motor?
How can i get to the bottom of this? Your help is greatly appreciated!!

I'm not so sure on 6th gen's but check on the headliner towards the rear there should be a hole covered with a plastic piece. Pop that off and you should have an EX moonroof tool to be able to turn the roof by hand, if that works then it's probably your motor if it doesn't then something is probably jamming it.

EX moonroof tool?

lol, first check if you have the hole in your headliner.

usually the tool looks like a z and it's usually with your tire iron in your trunk.

You don't have to take out the headliner, just pop off the small plastic round cover behind the moonroof.

okay so i popped off that round plastic, found the sunroof wrench and started turnin it. It was goin good then got real hard to turn. Bein me, i just forced it lol then when i did that, a lil plastic thing shot out. I guess that lil plastic thing was blocking the track, so thas why my moonroof wasnt openin in the first place. Glad its working just as new again

thanks for the help!!

lol I had the same issue. Except it was a screw that came undone

For those who dont have that tool, an allen wrench works as well. But be prepared to be rough on that ***** cuz it is NOT easy to crank. OP sounds like a sissy and forced it open

OP, as for that plastic piece. I hope that wasnt anything vital. I guess time will tell. Id keep an eye out for leaks or drains in the wrong places.

EDIT: nevermind, you're in AZ, lol. Id still watch out when monsoon season rolls around...
