Default Sunroof electric motor location?

Hello.

My sunroof electric motor of my -91 is toast but a new one came with the car.

To avoid searching could you please point me to a correct direction where the motor is located?

Is the change a straight forward job or does it require special methods etc.?

This is what the search function is for. If you ask you may not get the desired result in terms of the actual answer specific to your model. The search function is your friend. I have found a wealth of information by searching, such as starter replacement.
Just search for sunroof motor. Your answer will be in the first few threads guaranteed!

The sunroof motor is right under the sunroof controls. You have to remove the headliner to get it out.

Thank you.

If headliner needs to be taken off then I'm afraid the busted motor will remain busted.

It's not hat hard to remove the headliner. Just pop the panels off that run along the windows on the driver and passenger side. There are 2 on each side. You do have to take the the vanity lights and the pieces that passengers hold on to first.
