2003 Toyota Camry SE v6 Moonroof problem

My moonroof got stuck when I tried to tilt it. And after trying to close and open it a few times, everytime I push the moonroof buttom it has this loud click click click click sound.

And solutions for this? the tilt is only on one side of the moonroof and can't close.

Thanks for any help.

Sounds like it came off the track on one side or both. I suggest either poppin off some plastic and diving in to repair it or, if you wanna disect it with knowing what's underneath, pick up a chilton tear down manual for your car and it should have a tear down of the sunroof. If it's click-clickin, you at least know that the motor didn't go out on you. Just hope to high heaven that you don't have to take the whole roof headliner out... haha... j/k. Hope that helps.

This has been discussed before so do a search. Someone had to adjust the stop points on the motor. Beyond that you have bent something in there 'cause there isn't much to it.

Let's see here. You have a problem with your moon roof. You should search:
a) brake pads
b) air conditioner
c) moon roof
d) sun roof

HINT: Two answers are correct.

I think that's pretty obvious, I was looking for key words related to a specific part i should look into or something else. Searching "moonroof" and "sunroof" doesn't turn much up.

A query of 'sunroof/ brought up 129 different threads and most of them seem to be talking about the sunroof. Surely there will be something there that helps.

for those who might have the same issue as me, I took off the glass tonight to inspect it and found some broken plastic bits on both sides of the guide. I went on ebay and went ahead to purchased a repair kit. I'll keep this posted for anyone with problems with their moonroofs.

my order just came in the mail today. After reviewing the instructions, it looks like I need to remove the headliner. Hope it isn't so difficult to do.

doh!

went through majority of it already.

Taking off the headliner was a bitch! Been working on it for 5 hours or so and still not done. Just having some technical difficulties with the sunroof not operating properly now (i.e. not opening all the way) but at least it can close completely now.
