2006 H3. Car set up 7 years. The sunroof would not open. I disassembled, freed up the spiral gear and replaced the white driver gear. It works good when not installed. When I attached the motor to the sunroof, I get very little to no movement. My question is with the motor and white drive gear removed, should I be able to push the sunroof open? I'm wondering if the tracks are stuck.

 

Go online, find the H3 service manual and read about sunroof maintenance, the tracks have to be lubed, Old grease dries out and acts like glue.

 

Doc Olds,
I was wondering why this forum does not have copies of original manuals, parts lists, etc?
Is it because of copyright laws?
Thanks for your continued help.
