Hey,

The moonroof in the outback doesn't lift like every other one does.
However the sunroof works fine.
Anyone know what i should be looking for in fixing it??

Cheers

From my experence with sunroofs, this may turn out to be a complicated and expensive fix.

At the least, I would think the headlining would need to come out.


Not much help, sorry.

[Steveee]

Anything is help lol, Thanks.

I was assuming the motor to lift it had carked it, pulled the roof down a bit and peeked in but looked like it only had a rubber-like line running into it somewhere, just dont wanna pull the roof out and apart if theres something in particular i should be looking for.

From what I can tell looking at the Lib w/shop manual, assuming yours is the same, there is only one one motor that controls all the operations.

You may have faulty swtich contacts for the tilt circuit.

Yeah perhaps, I spose ill rip the thing off tomorrow and have a squiz around.
cheers

I thought you were just pulling out the switch!!!

[Steveee]

lol nup now im pulling out the whole 'ing roof lol its just bugging me that its not doing what its ment to'!

What are you calling the sun roof and what are you calling the moon roof??

Does the front work or back?

Once the front is open you have to re press the button to open the rear one, so if one works it can't be the switch.

[Steveee]

yeah thats what i figured, im calling front one a moonroof, thats meant to raise.. rear ones the sunroof

[Adam]

Wierd, so the front doesn't open?

I'm out of ideas then does it make any noise when you press the button.

[Steveee]

nah, only the sound of the rear one unpressing sort of thing, neither of the scissor raise things were budging when i pressed the button so im assuming its the motor unit =/

[RX25SE]

Now that you have torn it to bits, what exactly are you looking for?
