Hey guys! So iv been trying to find a specific fix for my 2006 Acura TL sunroof, but i cant find one, so i thought i would post! my sunroof doesn't move at all, and when i try to open or close it, it makes a super nasty sound. Now i heard it is a very expensive fix, so iv been trying to find a way to manually close it! Some say that there is a plastic piece to remove on the passenger roof, and use a tool that came with it in crank it, but mine does not have that. Does anyone know a way to manually close it? do i need to remove the headliner? let me know because i do not want to pay the dealership to take a look at at, as they are the only place that will. Every mechanic i have called said they do not work on sunroofs.

 

you're shit out of luck if you dont have the hand crank.

 

perhaps if you can get to the access point, you can use an allen wrench to crank it down

 

where is the access point?

 

Oh so i have the tools, i cant find the access point, sorry! Should have clarified, some say in the back, but i think that is for newer models perhaps?

 

I was under the impression it's in the back right near the rear center overhead light.

 

it could be if it was under the fabric, i would be scared to pull that off myself tho! There is something with fabric on the rear glass, a little square thing, but not to sure what it even is. guessing for back lights or something, does anyone know the purpose of that?

 

See if this reecorin helps you out with your Ackyurur.

 

mine does not have that! i think that is for newer models unfortunately ):

 

At least the service manual, makes it sound like the headliner needs to come down first. Not sure if there are any shortcuts, but attach is the relevant bit.
