ok i have an 05 cobalt ss/sc and i just noticed today that my sunroof does not go all the way down part of it sticks up is this normal? i am going to take into a dealer and have them look at it i am sure it is fixable but has this happened to anyone else?

 

It should close flat with the roof.

 

unless the cable is hung up glass off centered. make any noise?

 

yeah it made a noise when i moved it down last night but it didnt tonite

 

it could have slipped off of the rails on one side. It happened to my 97 eclipse. one half of the sunroof didn't go down/seal all of the way when I closed it. It's definately fixable though, take it to the dealer.

 

thanks man i hope thats what it is seems like it because its only like that on one side

 

thats wierd b/c mine broke right after i bought it about 2 months ago the track broke so it wouldnt go all the way down on the driver side.....there was a huge gap prob about half an inch so i had to take it in and they had to buy a whole new sunroof......i could hear it pop when i shut it so i def knew something broke.....if it is a big gap that is prob what happened or if it is just alittle off it could just need to be adjusted there are screws on each side of the sunroof that you can loosen to adjust them.....2 hex screws on each side

 

yeah i think that is the same exact thing that happened to mine because i heard it crack or something so it sucks

 

mine makes a little moaning noise at first. its only for a second then its fine.

 

bavoose mine did the same thing it wouldnt shut all the way on one side. there seemed to be a clip that did not slide with the rest of the sunroof i just moved it back into place and it closed. i still have not been able to get it to the dealer to get it looked at.

 

One of your rails needs to be replaced. It happened to me just a few weeks ago. Dealer should be able to fix it in a day.

 

if its making noise most likely its the rails/cables...they break quite easy on mosr models now-a-days

 

yeah they said it was the rail and now i have to wait till they can find a rail to replace it with just have to wait till they can locate one and ship it to the dealer so now im stuck driving this malibu so fun stuff

 

Happened to me last year back in September. The thing that really sucked was the part was on indefinite backorder. Finally after two weeks they robbed a part off a new car to put on mine.

 

My sunroof squeaks. It's like it's not sealing very well. I have got to take it in as well.

 

yeah this happened to me as well about a month after i got my ss/sc. Looks like its pretty common.

While we're talking about parts breaking, anyone have to replace their catalytic converters? They had to replace mine when the car only had 16,000 miles on it. The day before i brought my 05 in someone with an 06 ss/sc brought theirs in with the same problem. No reason a new car like this should need new cats so soon.

 

Mine also makes a little nose when I open it to vent. I went to the dealer body shop and the guy said I have to try to work it in. I only have 3000 km and had it for about 3-4 weeks or so

 

it happened to mine this past week.

and its still in the shop (they ordered 1 part..to realize they need another..to realize they need another..to realize they need another..etc)

they put a brand new sunroof kit in it.

 

happened to me two weeks after the purchase of the car. Its aparently the passenger side track most of the time and its usually cus the original install is too tight. The glass should be slightly higher than a flush fit when closed so that it can flex properly when the car is in motion. The guys at my dealer said you should be able to see the glass actually pop up slightly when the windows are all rolled up and you close the doors which should show that it is installed properly. If it doesn't pop up then it is installed too tightly.

 

thats what they did with me i have the old one in my garage and the new one comes with a extra motor
