Not responsible if you f...ck your shit up.
Ok now that's out of the way.
Its never been done on cb7 before that I know of. At least I have not seen
one with oem roof so I'll give it a shot. This is working progress so bare with me.
start of is remove your sun roof.
remove plastic cover to reveal 10mm bolt, 3 each side
You might want to put masking tape around the roof opening to prevent
scratches and such, my paint job is already screw so no big deal for me.
I already took out wind screen so its not show on picture
Take out the track holder bracket and stopper.
slid sun roof to close then by hand lift up the front side of the roof
slide sun roof little more while holding up the glass to clear the outside track.
lift the out side track up little to clear the bolt so it will slide pass that . Your sun roof should be off.
next step is cutting out the drain track from the roof.
I just cut along this line
should come off clean like this. cause you will need it later
remove this lift thing, by this time you should have some idea how it work when closing and opening.
now put your thinking cap on and figure out how to make it lift pass the roof to make it tilt.
my first choice it just get a longer silver thingy, I call it lifter. so that it push the roof up higher.
might work so lets try. question is how high?
so just do a test one and see how high I want it to tilt.
the result.
I think Its just about right. next is will it open and close like it should? off course not. that would
be too easy. when I try to close the sun roof stuck right above the roof due to rubber around the sunroof
kinda thick and not design to up and down passing the roof line. I'll come back to that later.
since you remove the drain track from the sunroof , if not put back where it need to be then your roof will LEAK
WATER FOR SURE. so I got some window insulation thing to kinda channel the water to the side
add silicone just to make sure this thing don't come off.
Have to call it a day, maybe I'll figure out how to fix that stuck roof issue by the morning.
