How To Take Moonroof Off?

Feb 24th, 2003, 03:40 PM

The moonroof on my '94 Sentra started to leak. I'd like to take it off to see what's leaking. How do I take it off/out? Do I have to pry off the plastic tabs on the exterior of the moonroof to expose screws?

Also, I suspect that the plastic molding that goes around the moonroof on the outside may be letting in water. If so, what can I do to seal it? Is there a common sealant people use for this?

Thanks,

There should be some black plastic trim pieces around the sunroof assembly in the inside of your car. Those should just pop off, and you will see 3 nuts w/ intergrated washers on both sides of the sunroof. Remove those 6 nuts, and the sunroof will come right out. This is the basic idea b/c I did this over the summer. My sunroof wasn't leaking, but it wasn't opening all of the way. You can adjust the way the sunroof sits in the track b/c the bolts sit in a notch that has adjustment. Adjust it a fraction one way, and pour a cup of water on it to see if it helped.

Hope this helps,

You might have to take off your headliner.
