Headliner/Sunroof Motor Removal and Installation

Tools needed:
Slotted and Phillips Screwdrivers.
Ratchet and 10 mm socket.

Step 1:
Remove three screws that are found in the back, towards the rear window. As well as the ones holding on the "clothes hanger" tab.

(Hard to tell in the pic, but there are 5 screws total)
Step 2:
Remove visors, dome light, and rear view mirror. All of these are fairly simple and require the use of a phillips screwdriver, with the exception the rear view mirror (requires that you remove the cover with a slotted screw driver.)


Step 3:
Remove driver and passenger side pillars (although you do not need to totally remove them, it makes working around the headliner easier). Loosen rear plastics enough to move headliner. (skip to step 5 if your just replacing the sunroof motor)

Step 4:
Remove headliner.
Step 5:
There are two options when it comes to removing and installing the motor. 1) You could remove the headliner all together and do the work, or 2) You can push the headliner back enough to give you clearance to work around. Either way both methods will work fine, we suggest pushing the headliner back to allow you enough room to work around.
Step6:
Remove motor. This can be done by removing the bolt holding the relay on first (while the relay is loose disconnect it), followed by the three holding on the motor. ALl the bolts are 10 mm or phillips screwdriver type. Be warned that you will need to support to motor as you remove the bolts because the motor will fall right out.


Step 7:
Installation. Pretty much opposite as the disassembly. Reinstall motor, and test it first by hooking up all lines and the dome light/sunroof controls. Reinstall headliner (or slide it in place), snap the plastics back into place, return all screws to where they belong. Enjoy a properly functioning sunroof!

Thats pretty much it, as you can see there isnt much too it.
