Product Details

Kent is a strong believer in the importance of understanding how a part or mechanism works if you are going to diagnosis a problem and then fix it. He starts the video explaining three different problems he is having on three different models. Next, using a complete sunroof mechanism removed from a car, he walks you through how it works. After watching that you may be surprised that these mechanisms hold up as well as they do. He explains what each mechanical component does and how to remove them all from the car. Then using three different failed mechanisms, he explains the type of problems you may run into with your own power sunroof and how to fix them yourself. Since most of the problems are caused by the lack of proper lubrication he spends considerable time showing how they should be cleaned and lubricated before reinstalling back into the sunroof tracks. 

Learning how to fix your own titling sunroof can save you hundreds of dollars! Many owners just let it go but now you can fix it and have a smooth and fully working sunroof again...
