In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Sunroof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sunroof is an opening in an automobile roof.
Historically, sunroofs have been opaque and open to the air to allow the sun to shine directly into the vehicle, while moonroofs have generally been transparent or semi-transparent and designed to remain closed while allowing muted light to penetrate the vehicle.
Sunroofs are available in many shapes, sizes and styles, and are known by many names.

 Pelican Technical Article: 944 Sunroof Operation
The sunroofs on 944s are raised and lowered by two lifting arms at the rear edge of the roof.
The sunroof drive motor assembly is located in the rear hatch area behind the vertical section of carpet on the driver's side of the car.
On the newer style sunroofs, two of the micro-switches are ganged together and are visible from the front of the assembly.

A sunroof is a cutout in a car's (or truck's) roof that can be opened to provide fresh air and sun to the people inside.
A sunroof can be made of the same metal as the rest of the roof, or it can be made of plastic and transparent (usually tinted), in which case it is customarily referred to as a moonroof.
Moonroofs have a sliding shade in the interior that can be retracted, and were invented by the American Sunroof Company.

 Sunroof / Moonroof Repair, BMW e46
This is perhaps the most common problem in the BMW e46: Broken sunroof shade.
Basically what happens is this: The sun bakes the inner workings of the BMW sunroof, to the point where the lubricants in the shade track become sticky and the shade slows down.
If your BMW e46 sunroof shade is stuck, or wobbling, or won't close properly, you need new clips.

Sunroofs and are generally not available over the counter in the box, and are NOT recommended for do-it-yourself installation.

Sunroofs are designed for automotive roof applications, and cannot withstand being walked upon, or the pounding a boat might take.

 Speeding up that slow sunroof.
After putting up with the slow sunroof for quite a while I had enough of pushing it closed, I looked into what causes this and found that it is primarily because people use cheap non-Mercedes slide grease on it.
First step (you only need to do this if you are removing the sunroof from the vehicle) is to partially open the sunroof and pop that cover off, it is on there pretty good so be careful when doing this.
Here is a helpful hint on getting the sunroof headliner to reclip, you have to hold it with force on one hand then hit the vicinity of the clip with a rubber hammer using the other hand such as the picture below shows.

 Sunroof Motor
Because it’s virtually impossible to manually push the sunroof to the closed position with any degree of accuracy, I found the best way was to push the sunroof fully open, then connect up the motor to the wiring harness and the sun roof switch.
If the sunroof does not completely close before it stops, then this is a good indication that the sunroof control cables are stretched, and depending on how much they are stretched, you may wish to consider replacement.
Press and release the sunroof close button in very short ‘bursts’ until the roof is completely closed.

I have no regrets, but they refused, probably correctly, to make a headliner for a sunroof model as there is no pattern available such as there apparently is for the solid roof sedan.
As for the sunroof itself, the fl outer layer was sewn to pattern with a wide seam, approximately 2 3/4", on each side and pockets fashioned on the bottom side in front and back.
The sunroof has turned out to be a lot more work than I anticipated, but most of it was the learning process.

 Body: Sunroof
I noticed the sunroof trim had come unglued at front on one side; this was dropping down low enough to bind on the wind flap.
Fix: vent the sunroof; from the outside undo the two springs that hold the headliner sunroof panel to the sunroof; use a long phillips head screwdriver to tighten the adjustment screws down while holding the sunroof at the desired angle.
This causes the sunroof to perpetually sag and fail to achieve the solid seal that prevents water from entering the cabin, affecting both the sunroof headliner and the headliner surrounding the sunroof opener.

Use a screw driver or needle nose pliers to release the springs that hold the sunroof liner to the roof.

To get access to the sunroof cavity, you must first remove the popup metal piece with bent rubber edge, which I will call the "wiper", for lack of a better term, located at the rear of the sunroof hole in the roof.
Now that the sunroof is fully assembled, except for the glass, make sure all the pieces are where they should be.
To adjust the roof motor, loosen the T-25 screws until its worm gear clears the sunroof drive gear, and then turn the motor a little (use the special bent allen wrench that's in the toolkit in the trunk of the car; engage it into its hole in the drive gear...

Skullflower turned Total into a largely solo side project with a free-improvisation bent, which eventually became Bower’s main focus.
The Puff Daddy-affiliated R&B group Total laid exclusive claim to the moniker in the late ‘90s, at which point Bower retired it and continued on -- in much the same style -- under the new name Sunroof!.
With Sunroof!, Bower also seemed to make more conscious attempts at sonic diversity, varying the moods of his lengthy pieces and incorporating hints of British folk and ethnic music while upping the vintage electronics and found sounds.
