Hi Chaps,

My trouble started as an intermittent fault particularly in warmer weather but has gotten worse to the point where it generally doesn't work.

When I hit the switch I can hear what I assume is the relay clicking in the roof liner near the main cabin light.

Giving the roof liner a thump with my fist got it going again a few times.

Based on advice given it's most likely either a dry joint somewhere between relay and motor, or the brushes in the motor are gone.

Question 1 has anyone else had this and got a suggestion?

Question 2 how do I go about getting the roof liner out neatly?

Keen to hear of nice way to get roof lining out as well.

I had my back sunroof stop working for a while, but then it fixed itself.

I have a spare motor for the back (same as front?) in a box plus a wreck with sunroofs that I can strip out if needed.

Finally got off my arse and removed the headliner, thanks Andrew from Muscle Motor Trimmers for some pro tips. I'm getting power up to the last plug before the motor and while holding the sunroof open switch on, if you tap the motor housing with a screwdriver it works.

This would tie in with Scott's theory that the brushes in the motor are had it. Gonna get an electrically minded relative to confirm my diagnosis then look to replace it.

Same thing has happened to my electric seat, though it's harder to reach under my seat and give the motor a tap with a screw driver whilst the seat is still bolted to the car.

Glad I have a sparky in the family, turns out the problem was dry joints on the circuit board of the relay next to the motor, invisible to the naked eye. Will post up some pics and tips for roof liner removal shortly.

Blek, got the same issue with my passenger seat electric switches cutting out, job for another day.

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
