Does anyoneherehave a spare sunroof motor that they want to sell or does anyone have a website whereI can purchase a sunroof motor. Any input would be great.

 

Why do you need a motor?

 

yes mr340i need a motor pretty bad. i cant stand to have a sunroof and for it not to open.

 

you are absolutely sure its the motor, and not any of the cables causing your problem?

 

well the cables move pretty easy and where can i buy the cables if i need them..

 

i still have my motor that i swapped the plug on

 

This is what happened to my sunroof and its took only 2 hours to fix, no money wasted. My sunroof wouldn't open and the humming sound was present. I took off the glass to find one side was missing a cable. I took off the headliner to find my cable was disconnected and all I did was reconnect it. And its fixed. If your cables move with ease it shouldnt be the motor.

 

That's why I asked if he was sure it is the motor, it's rare that the motor goes bad, Most likely causes are a broken/warped cable guide block on the motor mount or a broken cable retainer on the drivers side rail.All the parts are available from the dealer, cables are sold as a set and cost around $50. Rails are around $120 each, and the guide block retrofit kit is about $30. The motor was about $250 last time I checked. If you need part #'s, let me know.

 

yes that could be ur problem, mine had a corroded cable and after i replaced it, its worked fine. It can be a pain to do the job but it saves u from spending over 200 dollars on a new motor. Like mr340 said u can get the cables from the dealer, thats where i got mine from. sorry i didnt reply right away.

 

ive had 3 neons with sunroofs.....all 3 of them needed a new motor...

the 97-99 neons that came with a factory power sunroof have a tendancy to go bad.....the main gear inside the motor is plastic and will eventually ware the teeth down if used enough
