Here is a wierd problem...
I just got my 92 FJ80 back from the paint shop. I did the most of the minor prep work and will reinstall all removed parts. While I was putting everything back together I wanted to solve an annoying problem.
My sunroof had been replaced before. At a fully closed position the rear edge was to high, even with all shims removed. After much deliberation I assumed upon replacment the motor may have been removed, and the cable/tracks that move the sunroof were a few notches off of the timing of the motor.
I figured by pulling the motor down and running it to the fully closed position, then moving the glass to the correct height and reinstalling the motor my problems would be solved. This proved to be correct with the glass and cable/tracks in the correct position and the timing of the motor in the correct postion it closes perfectly.
My problem now is that the operation is totally sporadic. I am able to open from a fully closed position to about 3/4 open. After that it stops, then I have to toggle back and forth between tilt up and down several times to be able to get it all the way back. Then to close it I have to use the tilt up position.
This is a new one to me so if anyone has any ideas or thoughts feel free to dive in.
