So when I usually drive my car, I usually have the sunroof tilted up. The other day I went to tilt it up as usual and the motor started to wind, but all I heard was a loud grinding noise. No movement of the sunroof at all. I tried sliding the sunroof back but when I pushed that button, it tilted up. Once it tilted all the way up, the motor started to make the grinding noise again until I released the slide button. I thought that the motor must have been going bad. I just want to make sure that it is the motor that has gone wrong before I shell out for another one. Also, sometimes when I press the tilt button, nothing happens. I'm 90% sure that the motor is shot, but I thought I'd ask the 6GC pro's just to confirm. If anyone could help me out, please do.
-Thanks for your time, Ryan |

I'd still take off your headliner and poke around. I'm fairly certain that my sunroof isn't OEM, which is why it might be installed differently. I think the OEM Toyota system allows you to take off your headliner.
And no worries mang. ![]() Another possibility is that both of our tracks are somehow messed up. My motor does work because it can push the sunroof up (and down as well, with a bit of help), so it could also be that the glass is getting stuck somewhere. I've poked around there as well but I can't see anything that could cause it to get stuck.
