Question 2 Questions

I have 2 questions hopefully someone can help. Im looking to take out my headliner. does anyone know how I can do so or how hard it is to take out.

question 2. I have a sun roof and I can open it. When i go to close it, it seems like it is stuck. I dont know if that is my motor going bad or does somethink it might be off track.

you know i've never had a sunroof but i want one though.here you go


SUNROOF MOTOR REPLACEMENT


Removal Instructions
Step 1 Before removing the motor for the sunroof, the sunroof must be fully opened in the tilt position and then closed, so the mechanics and electronics will synchronise when installing the new motor. By removing the side cover, you can check to see the position of the mechanism. The slide shaft should be between the marks 1 & 2 on both sides. If the sunroof motor is malfunctioning, the sunroof can be operated manually using a screwdriver.

Step 2 Remove the headliner.
Step 3 When releasing the locking mechanism on the connector be careful not to damage the connector. Pull the the two halves straight apart so you avoid bending the pins.
Step 4 Disconnect the connector from the sunroof motor.
Step 5 Remove the motor. Installation Instructions


Step 6 Connect the connector to the sunroof motor.
Step 7 The following procedures must be done before installing the new motor. Push the switch up so the motor will operate as though it is going into the tilt/vent function and then release the switch. Press the switch up again but this time hold for about 3 seconds. Using your thumb, press the drive wheel at the same time you are engaging it in the close function by pushing the switch forward.
Step 8 Install the motor. You may have to calibrate the control module, Torque to 2 ft lbs.
Step 9 Install the headliner.
Step 10 Check the function of the sunroof and controls!



and yea you'll have to take it off

headliner removal is pretty easy, i put black fabric on mine. just unbolt the **** handles and the visor clips and i believe the visors remove the rear pillars and the rubber seals and just pry the headliner and it should come off
