I want to see what people will say about my sunroof problems. My car is 1990, with over 200,000 km on it. So it's old, I'm not surprised that I am having problems!
The sunroof stopped working at one point, early this year. It didn't stop completely, it's like it had it's days off. As time went on, it started taking more days off more often. Sometimes it would work one day, and I'd open it, but when I wanted to put it down it wouldn't work and I would have to manual crank it shut again. Eventually it just didn't work at all.
Luckily we have 3 Subarus that are parts cars, so I was able to replace the sunroof motor with another one. After over coming a few more difficulties after changing the motor, the sunroof worked again.
I haven't gotten around to reinstalling the interior roof of the car yet. If it's raining or has been raining, when I make a turn with the car water will fall on my head! It comes out somewhere around where the sunroof is, but I cannot see exactly where it comes out because it doesn't leave any drips or wet areas behind. I'm wonding if not having the liner in is causing this problem. I don't want to put the liner in yet incase it is something else causing the sunroof to leak. If it is something else I'd like to fix that first. The drains for the sunroof seem to be in place and not clogged with anything from what I can see.
Any comments would be appreciated!
