Carina E Sunroof Repair

[Eric Price]

My much loved '94 Carina E hatchback suffered a sunroof failure a couple of weeks ago when a metal brace inside went 'BANG' while I was trying to close it from the full open setting.  With much care and attention I managed to get it closed but I would like to repair it so it can be used again and I am wondering if anybody knows of any guides that describe the headlining removal, and possibly also the sunroof.  The car has been completely reliable except for a fuel injector a few years ago and it is completely rust free so I see no reason to even think about replacing it with a new car unless something genuinely serious goes wrong with it.

i hate to say this but even the haynes manule gives it a 5 spanner rating and pretty much says that you would be best to take it to a toyota garage but to do it you have to take all side trim panals out of passenger compartment then remove the headling compleat, the rear edge of the glass should be adjusted 0.5mm higher than roof and the front 0.5 mm below
