Default '93 GS300 Sunroof Fix

So Nixspeed told me the way to get the sunroof off. After taking off the sunroof and troubleshooting, I found the problem that was going on.

What was happening: I would use the button to push the sunroof back, and it would just get stuck. Same as if I would push it up or down. One side was level with the top of the car, and the other side was sunk in.

What I found: The tracks have 2 pins. One was missing the pin, so I quickly found it deep in the track, pulled it out with some needle noses, and then put that in. However, the other side was the problem. Basically, when I pushed the button to make it go back, it would end up popping and getting stuck. In the middle of track on the side closest to the door, there is a little piece that goes up and down. This also has little rubber belt on it. Well when you push the sunroof back, it pushes that little piece down and then stays on track. Mine was broke off.

I'll take pictures tomorrow to show you all how to get the sunroof off (5 minutes), and then what I do to fix the flap. I might have to just buy a whole new track piece, but I'm not sure yet.

Well, I have to find out where to get the part first, from there, it's easy. Tomorrow I will post a picture of what's wrong with it, and how to get to it.
