These guys might be some help, seen good reviews all around Perth of them:

Take off the control panel, dunno about the Liners', but most Nissans have like a flathead screw you can turn to close the sunroof if it gets stuck open.

If its leaking as well you're probably f**ked with water damage though :P

Checked the drain pipes to make sure theyre not clogged ? Theyre in both A and both C pillars, and come out at the wheel.

If its water seals I think you need new glass, as you can't get the seal alone.

Pull the whole assembly out, check the roof for water damage, hopefully you dont have any rust, clear out the drain pipes with high pressure air or water (dont forgot, if water builds up in the pillars, you're in alot deeper shit than 1.4K), check the sunroof controls and maybe get a new one if the eletronics are damaged, then finally, rip the actual sunroof apart and check if the cable is jammed or twisted anywhere, make sure the rails are all sweet, etc.

Devote atleast one day, if not a weekend, to the job.

Good luck :banana:

dude, got a 32 with a sunroof (not sure if its the same as yours) i had 100% same problem as you, i did everything you discussed as well as.... on mine looking from the outside in, the glass sits in like a frame and water builds up and just sits there so i got that black silicone stuff they stick windscreens down with and neatly put a thin strip the whole way around between the glass and that frame.

fixed the bulk of the problem

hope this helps

Just pull the assembly out an rebuild it. Does it sit uneven the whole way or more to one side? probably the cable out of line, can maybe even correct it without removing the assembly from the roof ?

Even if the pillars arent blocked, use the opportunity to flush them.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
