Tried to search, couldn't find much.

The only thing wrong with my new to me 100 is that the sunroof is stuck closed. The switches and motor work fine; I was able to remove the drive gear unit and test it.

The left side of the sunroof tries to move a bit, but the right side does not. I pulled the glass and the cables appear to be in good shape and in their tracks.

I think maybe the right side cable is either broken or just jammed.

Any wisdom out there? My tentative plan is to remove the entire unit per the FSM and pull the cables to inspect them...


One more specific question: I have a 2000 FSM and a '99 Cruiser. There is a picture in the FSM that shows how to adjust the drive gear to a closed position before reassembly. It looks totally different than my truck... Does anyone have a '99 FSM that could scan the sunroof section for me?
