    Sun roof crank adjustment

    So I finally completed the installation of the sunroof yesterday...quite a PITA in my opinion, but it works well....up and retracting smoothly.

    There is ONE item I need to take care of, though....syncronising the crank with the notched for when the sunroof is closed...that notch you feel so you know to flip up the crank and place it in the little trim alcove.

    Anyone know how to do this? I fed the sunroof cables in and kept measuring and re-feeding until both of the tilt and retraction plastic dases on each side were perfectly equal on the left and right...then installed the sunroof panel itself...now I can't tell if the panel is 100% sealed because there is no 'notch' felt ont he lever.

    HELP!

    no one has adjusted the notches on the crank gear to coincide with the sunroof panels positioning??

    did I instal the sunroof incorrectly? It work fine, but the notched in the crank are not coordinated with the sunroof...so I do not know when it is closed unless I look at it from the outside...

    HELP!!

      OK...so for the record...there is a little screw that rmeoved the gearbox from the plate that has the tubes for the cables of the sunroof. if you unscrew the little screw on the axle of one of the gears that wind the sunroof cable, you can wind the crank to whatever position you want and put it all back in place...

      ...still in progress...
