Click on on the top of the page.

Now click on My SignatureNow where it says "Modify your signature" add the link of your pictures that you have hosted. I use Imageshack. Here's how:

On imageshack's homepage (www.imageshack.us), you can select the size of the pic you want. I usually choose the originlal size. If it's too big, you can choose a smaller size. Here's how to do it. Look at the red text:

Tighten your sunroof motor clutch at least twice before you ever consider repairing or replacing your sunroof motor.

I tightend the nut on the back side of the motor alittle and it is still doing the samething,it won't go up or down but it goes front to back alittle when it's closed,you can see it move because it smashes the weather striping on the backside.

Unbolt and remove it from its mount in the sunroof chassis, plug it back in and run it while holding the motor in your hand. If the motor operates in both directions then something is bound up in the sunroof assembly or the clutch needs more adjusting.

It would better to start a new thread for a different topic if you wan to get more replies.

If you do a , you fill find many threads with info on the subject. Some people have gone as high as 20s. I believe 18s tend to work best in the largest size.

Here are some threads to look at:
