Toyota 4runner Sunroof Wont Open

I took the map light unit down to get to the motor and it looks like something is seized up cause when i push the button the gears start to turn but then slide over and rub the plastic housing.

Toyota 4runner sunroof wont open.

This is the 3rd time i had tore apart this sunroof and finally fixed it. When i press the button either way i hear a quick click and then nothing. Ill ceck the fuses and stuff. If you can hear the motor clicking when you push the switch for your sunroof go to step 3.

First of all if your sunroof is stuck open and you need it closed quickly go to step 1. It jst wont open at all theres no noise or anything when the button is pressed. Could not find any videos or info so i hope this helps. If your sunroof isn t working and you can t hear the motor running go to step 2.

I bought my current 4runner with a jammed open sunroof i had another parts rig at home and swapped it out. Well you shouldn t have opened it to begin with. 2004 toyota 4runner parts dealer wants 2k to replace whole assembly. It s way to bright outside there is pollution there are bugs and birds there are flying rocks rain drops hail carjackers thieves and solar.

You could always just disable the sunroof and not open it. In my 4runner i don t use my sunroof in fact i keep the shade closed too. I m a vampire btw. What really sucks if you open it and can t close it.
