Another One (sunroof) bites the dust!

I like my whiskey neat, and my women dirty.

How about washed up but utterly vile?

Back to the thread. nikhsub1, when will you actually tackle this? Your post made me run out in the 104 degree heat and lube mine!

True story. Plus, as kids we used to drink Quervo Gold which is garbage.

Ah... here we go... this was the problem.

Well, parts won't be here until the weekend - so not sure when I'll get around to it. Thankfully my roof is closed so I'm just not going to open it until I replace the brackets.

I’m not sure I’d even consider Cuervo Gold tequila lol.

How do you vent a sunroof?

Either with a hammer, or the vent button on the overhead console.

I just replaced my sunroof tracks with ones from fleabay, seem to be decent parts and so far so good. I super cleaned all the surfaces and used copious amounts of high temp silicone grease everywhere.
Before retightening the screws for the glass, I used plastic pry levers to slightly push/force the glass panel forward (when in the closed position) before tightening everything down. I had to do this a few times to get the good results. When I open the sunroof now, it doesn't seem bind as much and doesn't leak. Long term results are still TBD.

Parts arrived. It’s too hot here to do now as i have driveway parking only and no shade until around 6pm. Hopefully sometime this week.

It's my dedicated box opener. It's a Spyderco knife. The one I carry on the daily is a Benchmade Auto Triage - best pocket knife ever IMO. Sadly, they stopped making it.
