Sunroof problem
Howdy,
I got a 95 SL (95k miles, love that car!).
Two weeks ago, my girl tried to open the roof, and it just got stuck. midway - not even on the rails. seems that it is off the rail on one of the sides, and when i try to open or close i can hear (and see, as i open the upper engine compartment) the roof engine works, but nothing happens.
So i went to Mitsubishi garage.
Estimation : 400$ labor only. before the parts. the guy said that he doesn't know exactly which parts are needed, but he can estimate it 1500$-2000$. I asked him how much will it cost me to just to close it permanenetly - he was not willing to do it, as he said he can not do it, and if he opens it - he will have to fix it, in order to close it.
No way I am paying that.
So the question/s - has one here have any expereince with fixing the sunrood ? how complicated is it (it looks pretty simple mechanical to me), and do you know where i can find the Schema/Drawing/Instruction to repair it ?
p.s -
How can i get replacement to the dash tweeters?

RE: Sunroof problem
Thar price is insane. That happened to my 97 SL, and a common problem with the sunroof is that it's not oiled well enough, and it skids along the track and slices out little pieces of metal which ruins the track. I had the sunroof completely replaced for $800. I'd say look elsewhere. If it's the metal, there's really nothing you can do, the damage has already been done.
