- My 2005 Chevy Trailblazer (GMC Envoy) had the sunroof stop working when it was partially open. In this video I show how to replace the guts as which ended up not working, so I then replaced the entire assembly. Join me to see how I did it as well as my thoughts on how I would do it again.

Gotta love the fast forward through the headliner removal with little detail....
Apologies on that, something I've done a ton so it just totally skipped my mind to include. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos.
Thanks for motivating me to go out and grease my sunroof before winter!
It is way better than being forced to replace it. I probably need to as well
Winner winner chicken dinner 4 days vs dealer prices who cares u got it done
And still working like a charm!!
Pro tip.. when removing the electric motor from the frame DO NOT separate the motor from the cable gear housing, remove the three bolts lower the two down being careful not to separate the two, have a small bolt and nut handy to place between the two as too hold them together and removing the assembly as one should prevent you from having timing issues, good luck.
Thanks! that does sound like it would have saved me a ton of headache and untilatwly just replacing the whole unit 😂
There was a repair kit mentioned, that I didn't see a link for. Did I miss it? Thanks for this video, if I can find parts, hopefully I can fix our 2008 Trailblazer one.
This is the repair kit I'd get in the future which seems to have really good reviews. But then again for the price I got the replacement assembly I might just look on marketplace for someone parting a car out.

@@dieselpackgarage8796 Thanks so much for the information!
Anyone know if the sunroof assembly for the 05 Blazer is the same one used in the 04 Tahoe? Thanks!
Unfortunately I am not sure of that, sorry!!
Did the overhead center console where the sunroof button is up front snap out or did it have screws
A little of both 😂 I broke mine due to ignorance and then found I believe screws under it
When it came to taking out the center piece, how would you recommend doing it without breaking it
I honestly am not sure haha. Let me know if you have any luck!!
Yeah! Turns out three screws underneath the plastic covering for the lightbulbs! So the most front part is just clips and under the lights were the screws. I was super stuck but your video helped out a lot
@@KoGDoge Awesome, thanks for sharing!!
Bro thats too much 😭 come and do mine for a fair price if Im out of state
Replacing the whole assembly is definitely the way to go. Can probably find a used one for a good price. Just make sure that you see it working before you buy it.
Side note, the sunroof continued to work flawlessly until my girlfriend rolled the trailblazer just a couple of days ago. She then proceeded to open the sun roof and get out of the car through it. It's now totalled 😢 but thankfully she is okay
Question :) How did you get the tabs back up?
Which tabs are you referring to?
@@dieselpackgarage8796 Thanks for replying! The tabs mentioned at 7:37 & 11:05
@@drewlittich9425 I took a small flathead screwdriver and hammer to knock in the frame in front of the tab just a tad to get the tiny flathead under it and pry it back up enough to get a larger flathead in and pull it up the rest of the way
@@dieselpackgarage8796 Fantastic! Thank you!
