Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

There is something in the factory manual body exterior section about resetting the limits for the sensors on the sunroof.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2000 996 C4. It has about 130K miles. About 2 months ago, the motor from the sunroof began to slip and so I looked at the manual and decided that I could do this repair myself . I know, big mistake . However, removing the old motor I found the white plastic disk was missing some of the teeth. I purchase a used one off Ebay, and installed it. The motor is strong, but the sunroof is opening and closing only partially. I call the party that I purchase motor from and they tell me they checked it and it worked fine. Not wanting more problems, I am at Festival of Speed in Fontana and am talking with a guy with a race converted 996. I ask him if he has any parts that were stripped from the race car and he tells me he has the sunroof motor which was working excellent. He sells me the motor and I install it and now the motor is strong, but it won't close all the way. Is there a part that I am missing which tells the motor what to do Any advice in this problem is much appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Hi Larry There is something in the factory manual body exterior section about resetting the limits for the sensors on the sunroof. It's similar to doing the windows after you disconnect the battery. From a closed position hold the lift button in for a full cycle of opening and closing the roof. maybe someone posted the routine on RennTech.org I'll see if I can find the steps later this week.
