Cant get the sunroof in my 92 to close. When i got the car the guy said it wouldn't close,and if it would close it would just open to vent mode and stay there. Fuse is good,idk about the motor for the sunroof itself though,what all do i have to check and what all should i check? Switch lights up so i know it has power going to it.

If you pop off that circular cover in your headliner, there is a manual override for the sunroof. You will need the crank for it though. It should be included in with your tire iron. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think it's a hex drive so you may be able to use an allen wrench to crank it closed.

It is a hex drive, so an appropriate sized allen wrench will do the trick. Does the motor work at all?90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

I was just wondering if it didn't work at all or if it just budged a little like it was jammed. You have a wiring diagram?90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

You can manually close it with a 5 or 6mm hex. I just replaced the entire glass portion of the sunroof, and I fully removed the entire frame from the car to do so. Even if the wiring is shot, you can open and close manually just like they mentioned above. My car has no power and I've opened and closed it a few times to test and check on things.

I didn't know you could replace it from the top until after it was already done. Besides this allowed me to re-glue on the seals that had almost all come off. I did have a side goal to dropping the sunroof frame though. I was going to see if I could fix any of the roof that was dented from the inside. Turns out it wasn't possible, so I kinda wasted time.
I'm curious to see though if fixing all of the seals will cut down on some wind noise inside the cabin.

I practiced on a sedan in a JY before I eventually found an intact glass panel for my coupe.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

Looks like you may need to at least drop the headliner to troubleshoot further.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450
