I have no idea how, but the rear passenger corner of my power roof has
somehow gotten itself punched downwards about 1/4-1/2 inch rendering it
non-workable. The motor works fine, it just dosn't move it anywhere. I
don't know how many roofs were available for this model but mine has
the tilt-up rear and slide back options, I suppose its the moonroof
model.

Wintertime is when I use the roof most so now I am thinking about
looking at it. I just wondered if anyone had any tips or warnings about
working on it. I do have a Chilton's but first hand advice is always
the best info for me.

I was thinking I would somehow wedge it back into position with a
safely positioned bottle jack and extension, once I found the sweet
point to position the force.

I won't be doing this for a few days but just thought I'd get this
posted ahead of time.

Thanks

Mike

Take the headliner out and get ready for some fun.  The unit has a track
assembly that is bolted in place and sealed too.  If you take it out it
comes out as an assembly.  You have to cut the seam seal around the unit
and disconnect the hoses and wiring and it will eventually pull out.
Then you can correct what has caused the jam.

Thanks John,

Yeah, I was looking at it yesterday, that and reading the Chiltons
about it. It dosn't look at all simple to dismantle even a little bit.
Also, it says to even start the dismantle process you need to raise the
rear; well, my problem prevents that from happening. I'm just going to
ponder this awhile and hope for some inspiration. Again, maybe I can
just 'push it back up' using the bottle jack and slow pressure at the
right spot from the inside, without dismantling much, or any of it.
