Rear Moonroof/Sunroof Shade Problems...


Recommended Posts

Maybe this will help someone with the same problem so they don't have to pull the whole car apart.

My 2000 OBW Ltd. rear sunroof cover jammed one day....wouldnt open all the way...I was like, RRrrrr...tried and tried again to slide it with no avail...then I opened the rear moon roof up all the way and after it wouldn't shut cause the cover was stopping it! Ugh! Finally I opened the roof again, and slid the cover up and out the top. When I looked inside, attached to the glass roof are 2 small spring-loaded thingys, that apparently are supposed to 'open' up when your roof is closing, thus pushing the cover closed with it. Well, one of mine was stuck open, making it impossible to shut it completely...So...I superglued the broken one in the "up" position. Then I bent the 2 rear metal clips attached to the rear of the cover to make them straight, and re-installed it from above, gently sliding it in. Now it slides on its own with no help from the roof. I will miss how it opened with the roof and all, but tweaking it out without going to the dealer has helped a person with an empty wallet to get by without unneeded bills. Hope this helps another Sube dude. :)
