Wow such a great video. Really nice shots, editing and voiceover. I knew these things before I took on the job but wish I would have seen your video first.
Thank you so much. I probably put way too much time into these videos.
Valuable information is now in my library. Thank you beyond measure! Appreciate your hard work. Greatful to have your channel available.
Best e46 sunroof video so far
Thank you
what a GOD, included the stepstool in the parts liks LOL
Great vid but there is a much better lubricant avialable. Silicone breaks down in direct sunlight and becomes hard then brittle. That particular lubricant is relatively short term. Use a lithium soaped lubricant like RHF1. Krytox is another option. It's long term in direct sunlight and saltwater resistant. Also, cover your paint, lubricants cause clearcoats to break down or bubble.
Still working really well so far. So well that the sunshade slides halfway back when I punch the gas. I'll try lithium soaped lube next time if this doesn't last. Thank you.
Fantastic video, big help. Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
great vid!
thank you for posting this. my shade shifts to the side and slides back if i smash the accelerator. definitely off track.
Thanks for the video. This helped fix the sunroof on my E46 Alpina B3 3.3.
Happy to help. Nice car!
Great video! I need to replace the sunroof shade, when I bought the car it was missing (a previous owner had an issue with the sunroof drains backing up, which fried the security module and ruined the A pillar headliner and the sunroof shade; the other things have been fixed but I haven't bothered yet for the shade, need to do that. I'll definitely service the sunroof tracks and motor while I'm at it.)
I'm glad you like the video! Good luck with your project!
Great Video
Well Done..!!
Thank you
Just had a shop apply new headliner, and now my sunroof is all out of wack. Have high hopes this will bring things back to normal. Thank you!!!
Hope it works out! Good luck
@@EndlessMoneyPits in the video around 5:45, you mentioned realigning the slider that grabs the sunroof. Mine is incredibly resistant and very difficult to move. How did you do that?
I could see which way it went off track so I just pulled on it until it popped back into place. It was visibly obvious.
Amazing how much crud builds up over time
An easy thing to neglect but it's still my fault. Just hasn't been a priority I guess.
Gracias por el video ❤
De nada amigo mio
Great video !! Do you have a video on how to replace the sunroof seal ??
Nope, haven't ever had to replace mine. Thank you.
How awesome! I could watch your d.i.y videos all day the way you do it is so smooth I have an E90 but hopefully this video will get me close to the solution. GREAT WORK!👏😁✅️💋
Thank you, I really appreciate that! I haven't worked with an e90 but it's probably a similar design. You'll figure it out. Take your time and enjoy the zen. Thanks again!
Check the sunroof drains?
This video is about cleaning the sunroof tracks. I've never had a problem with the drains but I have heard they can become disconnected inside the roof, and they can get clogged with debris. You can check the drains by pouring water into them (there are four drains, one in each corner of the sunroof). Use a jack to tilt the car toward each drain while you pour. Each drain exits near the closest wheel well. If clogged, push lawn trimmer line through to clear it out. If disconnected in the roof, you'll need to pull down at least part of the headliner to reconnect it.
I'm having an issue w/my moonroof not opening up all the way.. I think there is debris stuck inside but it happened out of the blue..it was working fine one day and the next it didn't..my car is a Camaro (2015) I think this will fix it as well.. thanks for sharing and showing how to take it (the sunroof) out without taking the headliner out too.. wish me luck!!
I'm not familiar with how they're designed on other cars so it would be great if you let us know how similar it is. Good luck!
