You can pull out the strip around the sunroof and the headliner will come down a little bit, and you'll have to reach your hand towards the back of the car to reach the motor and tighten the bolts that hold it in...please wear long sleeves if you are going to do it this way...the headliner is fiberglass...and hurts like crazy if you don't

i just took the headliner off, much easier to work on. when i took the liner off, the 2 bolts fell out which is the reason the sunroof wasn't moving. everyone here had the same problems w/ the screws falling off.

Yeah it's pretty common. The bolts are really short so if you can, get some that are maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer to help prevent it from happening again. Sorry, I don't remember the exact length of the bolts.

If your having funky wiggling coming from your head liner and a jamming noise coming from your sunroof as it opens and closes and then gets stuck in a weird place, then its the 3 bolts that hold it in. Take them out and locktite them before it gets too late. If it gets stuck don't force it or else you will strip the teeth on the gear, like I did.

I can hear the sunroof motor working just fine. My sunroof however just doesn't move at all but I can slide it back and forth with my hands. It had to have just fallen off the tracks however that happens. I'm gonna order what ever it needs before I attempt to fix it.
