Mine stopped working properly this morning. The sunroofgears.com site doesn't seem to be active anymore. I can't get the page to load. HALP!

This gear works with a little sanding to make it fit: https://www.ebay.com/p/?iid=222474815935&&&chn=ps

Good to know. Is there any kind of a writeup on taking the assembly apart and fixing these? I'm nervous to start yanking on the 18 year old plastic housing around this.

Yep you'll break the cover if you are not careful. Carefully pop the light out.

You know, I sell used Sunroof motors, that are proven to work..60$ sent to your door.. just fyi..
First thing is to pop out the lights themselves from the housing, u can do this carefully with a smaller flat-blade..
Then, best thing is to remove the two phillips head screws beneath the cover, the CAREFULLY slide the sun-roof motor cover rearward to remove the little tabs on the opposite side of the screws.
In my endless junk-yard search it's hit and miss.
Sometimes they come right out no problem are a durable a bit, Other times they shatter into 10,000 piece the moment u attempt to THINK about taking it off..
Next un-clip the electrical connection, after that then it's 3 torx #30 screws is all u need to take the motor out. MAKE SURE IT IS AT THE REST POSITION BETWEEN VENT AND OPEN... u can do this by running the switch normally like u would to close your sun-roof.. YOU MUST DO THIS FOR THE ONE GOING IN ASWELL, or they will not sync.
Then it just slides straight down off the gear for the sun-roof itself.
new one goes in reverse order, MAKE SURE it's at the "REST" position or you'll strip it trying to force it to go a weird way.

Very cool, thanks for the info Francis. My motor still seems to be working, as I can hear it running when I press the button, but I hear a "whirring" sound like the gears are freely spinning. Does your motor include gears?

Yes it does, it is a complete unit, its plug and play. PM for further info.
