R32 Gts-t Sunroof Issues

[SimonR32]

Ok, I have a 32 gts-t with a factory nissan sunroof (aka piece of shit)...

It is currently stuck in the "tilted up" position, if I press the switch up the motor makes noise but the down button does not work (i tried to hard wire the switch but to no avail)

so im assuming that the motor has seized, which i dont mind... the sunroof working doesnt bother me

BUT

i need to bring it back down from the tilted position to the closed position for obvious reasons... does anyone know if this can be done manually without ripping the whole roof lining out and dismantling the whole thing?!?

surely there is a manual winding mechanism somewhere?

anyone?!?

HELP!!!

otherwise im going to put a brick through it and replace with perspex

lol i have the same issue except lucky for me its stuck closed.....

as im too lazy to pull mine apart n look at it i would suggest pull down ur hood lining (which should come down if u unscrew the sun visors, the front grab handles (if u got em) , door seals and interior light trims).....

pull all that crap off and pull the lining down far enuf to see if u can get to the mechanism and go from there....

i havnt pulled a skyline one apart but usualy u can manually wind them or unhook the winding mechanism and just push the sunroof closed.....

if u get stuck, take a pic and show me wot we r lookin at

sorry i dont have a definately fix for ya
