Thread: Someone please have an answer!!

NEED HELP!! ITS WINTER AND My 97 Grand Prix sunroof tracks are offset. My driver side track is in the closed position, and the passenger side track is in a half open position. When the problem happened I was closing the roof and heard a hard clicking. It stopped working from that moment on. The tracks werent offset as much as they are now before I took the glass off. When I removed the glass, the passenger side track sprung back about 6 inches. The motor works, but the tracks only move about a half inch forward and backwards. Its cable operated and my guess is that one side jumped the track or a gear or something. Anybody help?

Not an expert for this but common sense dictates:

Try to shoot some pics. The sunroof will reverse direction if it encounters excessive resistance. That could be caused by grime buildup or lack of lubrication. Best to just clean the rails/sliding mechanism and lubricate, and do a visual inspection. Let GPF know what you find....

could not locate the pics. However i did inspection for crud and grime in tracks. I see that its on some type on cable system when i took the glass off which i cant get back on due to the set back on passenger side arm of track. almost seemed like the cable skipped and is now out of whack.

technically yes but 29 degrees SCREAMS WINTER TO ME

Ok well I got it all figured out kind of but still does same thing after tried it. An info on how to grease the mechanisms above headliner and what type to use. Seems to just keep slipping. Don't want to keep using it and have it strip the gears that would cost some pretty money I imagine.
