Im confirming this. It works.

 

great write up everything worked well mostly for me, im a tard and somewhere along the line i only made it work like...1/2 way. it opens all the way up if i hold it. It closes but i have to push it like 20 times and wont just lift up. I guess that beats not working at all heh.

 

I used this guide followed by ^ that guide and im back to working order...freaking awesome so happy. thanks guys

 

i have a feeling my motor is starting to go out because its really weak but idk i realign it by pushing it back and making the motor go all the way back and when i try to close it it goes halfway and seems llike it gets stuck on something :/

 

ATTAHO thanks for the write up. i went to bolt my motor back up and the roof was out of sequence, i didnt know what to do.. you saved my ***. works great now.

 

Funny thing is, this exact thing just happened to me. Sunroof went out a month ago and I had nothing but cloudy days here so I didn't care too much. Of course the last couple weeks of summer its been sunny as hell. I went to take the headliner off and those same 2 screws came out (the 2 outter most ones). The middle one was secured perfectly, kind of makes me think it was intentional maybe? A way for mitsu to get money or something?

Either way phenomenal write up, much appreciated because I was biting my nails prior to searching for your write up when I was just trying to figure it out as I go. Some things were self explanatory but once I got to the front portion to those damn clips I thought I was border line S.O.L.

Thanks again!

 

my sunroof kicked the bucket also, anyone have any problems with the sliding headliner below the sunroof not working?

 

Thanks so much for the writeup!!! Saved me this morning. I was able to fix it in about a hour. It sounded like crunching metal! I only had one screw holding the motor in also lol

 

My sunroof broke yesterday.
Found these instructions started on it this morning at 11am, finished at 11:45.
I only found 1 screw dropped and 2 were loose.
You only have to unclip the rear half of the liner.

I will also confirm that the initialization instructions work perfectly.

 

OMG Thank GOD I found this thread. I opened my sunroof and then found out it wouldnt close. I pulled it manually shut and will do the repair tomorrow! Thanks for the awesome info!

 

Awesome, this worked perfectly!

 

wish there was pic... some of us are visual learners..

 

Picture of what exactly?

I used this guide to take apart mine but I drive an 04 Ralliart Lancer.

I was able to fix it, long story but it was not what everyone else is experiencing. In either case, I still have the top completely off and can take pics if it's the same.

 

big fail of mitsu's part. My sunroof is doing this. won't tilt or close, just opens. Guess ill do this write up sometime soon! thanks
