going to be something jammed in the tracks I would say.

Nate... I've been here since August of 07, and you have 500 more posts than me.

first off its factory.. aparently the slides for the sunroof are off... the left side works totally normally with the panel off.. but the right side doesn't go all the way forward and down in the seal position

pebble in the track or something along those lines i would guess

01OldsAleroGt · 10-17-2008, 11:52 AM

well heres the other part of it.. the right track goes back farther than the left track.. so i think they got outta alignment .. how. i don't know... but i know the stealership i got my car from said to me that the detailer was cleanin the car and he apparently knocked the moonroof off the track.. but put it back into place.. apparently not since they are outta line... but yea

01OldsAleroGt · 10-17-2008, 01:00 PM

any possible idea on how to realign the slides on my moonroof ?

You might have to try a little force but I would still check the tracks to make sure they are clear of debris. Also lube it up. It always helps

kwhauck · 10-17-2008, 01:45 PM

lube always helps......or you can just force it....

01OldsAleroGt · 10-17-2008, 01:53 PM

im gonna do both force with lube.. that always work lmafo.. oh god that sounds kinky

01OldsAleroGt · 10-17-2008, 04:58 PM

im guessin this is the best advice i can get

Alerosaint · 10-17-2008, 05:13 PM

lube it.. lube it..let us know how it works for ya

I'd pull the headliner down and see whats going on with the tracks. I wouldn't try to force anything, it could cost more than if you just do it right and take it apart to see what the problem is. You can see in the picture what your you would be getting into. The bitch is getting the headliner out of the damn car.

lulz oh god we are a bunch of dirty fools !

Actually man.. i went the right way.. apparently the stealership left the friggen bolts on the Moonroof motor friggen loose... and apparently it caused it to go outta alignment.. but i got another question... does anybody have pics of how far the panel opens up fully.. wanna check that out to make sure mine is.. it looks like its fully opening to GM Specs
