I am stripping my 89 E30 4 door down to a shell for a ground up rebuild. Interior is stripped and wiring has almost been removed. However I forgot to remove the sunroof BEFORE I took apart the cars wiring harness.
So I noticed a 22mm nut on the bottomside of the motor which I figured was for incase the sunroof wouldnt close and your backyarder/mechanic could wind it closed to get it to a workshop if its raining..
So I wound the sunroof open and then it stopped half way and wouldnt wind back any further. I applied power to the sunroof from my other car, motor spins but the sunroof wouldnt move, however pushing against the sunroof it would alow me to move it about when the motor was runing. But wont move under its own power. It worked perfectly fine before I touched it..
bit weird.. cables seem fine too. I worked out how to get the sunroof out now, but I dont really want to put it back in if shes cactus.
the question is obvious.. but the answer so far isnt.
