Wayne2015 10 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) That would be boring! Lol I did go mad at one point on the Toyota Celica forum... Was on there like 24/7 ...to the point I listed all the new posts that moment in time...and EVERY ONE of them had a reply from me. I think members thought I was so mad...they awarded me the "TO BE MOST COMMITED MEMBER" that year :lol: I think the award was more for that I was living, sleeping, eating on the forum than having anything constructive to contribute.... The person who won the MOST COMMITTED "did" contribute constructively to the forum ...bless him! :D Let me find that award....

MZpog 10 Posted March 31, 2015 It means I need to wind the sunroof back manually by Allen key.. And should the sunroof get stuck opened and the heaven open up. Why use the allen key? whats up with the motor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne2015 10 Posted March 31, 2015 Why use the allen key? whats up with the motor? Usual sunroof not work, Stuart! Hence I darent open the sunroof since day 1 :eek: The seller said it opens, but does not tilt to close or something. On the day I bought it - I asked if he can show me what is wrong - he declined :( So I have not tried opening it since in case it gets stuck or break. I did play around with a spare sunroof thrown in with the car... ...and to be honest it is not something I like to use (Allen key to squeaky and snapping and one side moves quicker than the other side of the sunroof :eek:) So I am NOT touching that sunroof until the C is inside my home garage!

I have a working (tilt only) sunroof and the later style motor in my garage so if you wanted to have a go at making a good one, you know where the parts are.

Thanks Stuart! :thumb right: Hopefully my motor is OK. But reading other threads - I think its neigh impossible to fix my broken tilt. So I just want to : 1. Check if drains are OK 2. Fix any rust 3. See if sunroof can be fixed to work...else will just leave it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could remove the white panel from yours, fit it in mine and have a working tilt (much better than nowt at all) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted March 31, 2015 You could remove the white panel from yours, fit it in mine and have a working tilt (much better than nowt at all) Have thought about it, Stuart! But there are certain things I do NOT attempt! I know my limits!!! Somehow I prefer the outside look of a solid paint sunroof. But then I prefer a glass roof from inside to let light in. I even looked at getting a 1990s Passat glass sun roof.. In the end: 1. Beyond my limits :( 2. Extra costs :( :( 3. Not really a priority now as others issues to sort... But rust free, non-leaky sun roof "is" a priority.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've had the headlining out (the hard bit), so pulling a plug and unbolting 10 bolts isn't beyond your limits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted March 31, 2015 You've had the headlining out (the hard bit), so pulling a plug and unbolting 10 bolts isn't beyond your limits. U promise? If so, I may try to remove mind once C s in the garage so that I may try experimenting with re-spraying the sunroof panel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's seriously easy once the head lining is out. I could have probably done it on my own, but the good lady helped (and she claims to hate the car).

Let me do more research, have C in garage, and have time - then give it a good go - thanks Stuart! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
