broken sunroof (e36 325i)

[unclespeed]

hi,

i own a e36 325i and am having problems with my sunroof. as i've just put 3.5k into the car, i am not crazy about taking it back to the bmw dealer in fear of what it could cost.

my (electric) sunroof (not moonroof) opens UP but when trying to slide it back, it stops after just a couple of inches or so....Almost as if something got stuck in it. This happened from one minute to the next - so that didn't happen :rolleyes:

Is it the sunroof motor? Do I have to get the dealer to repair it and about what could it cost??

check the plastic pins that are located on either side of the sunroof. They are a pain!!

check out this link. let me know if you have any questions. Is a job that it can be done. Time consuming por cheaper that $70.00 per hour at the dealer.

good luck :thumbup:

there is also a way to open and close the sunroof manually in emergencies. you pop off the top cover where the button is to open it, it's in you owners manual.

That is insane mate! the best thing I could think of is just replacing your security system.
