Im a new member, sry if i screw up! I have a 94 ST liftback with a sunroof. I went to close my sunroof one day and it went half way closed, made clicking noise and stoped. After further investigation, i found there was gear inside the motor that broke its teeth. I reseached a new motor, and will coast $400! My Body Shop price isn't much less. My question is, are any of the motors the same from a hatchback? or is the hole sunroof the same in a 96 GT?
Thanks for any helps.
i believe all the sunroofs are the same but im not 100%...where in philly are you at?

Woah, exact same problem. $400 to fix? Screw that?
Im thinkin about maken a custom manual window knob. Whitch i almost had made. I removed the shaft from the motor, drilled/tapped a hole in the end and put a window winder thing on it. it worked but the gear spun in the winder handle thing... more work planned!
u know how hard that would be to close???not to mention how bad that would look
idk say put up a WTB ad up and see if anyone has a old sunroof just sitting around
BANNED. for life, you moron.
All i would need is the motor, everything works fine except for the motor. And to kno there 400$ new, is a good reason sell a used one for 150$-200$. Got to find someone with a motor, before they read this post!
I kno of two hatchbacks in a junkyard, but i dont know whats the same in a hatch.
Not to hard actually. I had it oped and closed, using a hand to hold the handle and one to spin it.
IT COULD BE DONE. I would never have to worrie about a failing motor. And with the right knob(like a VW jetta knob), and some fiberglass... Im sure I could come up with a clean design. My interior light took a poop too, so I could replace it with some LEDs or something. It might be the first manual sunroof in a 6th gen.
ebay you can find them cheap round 40 bucks on ebay, if not go to car-parts.com and their thousands of junkyards to call and find that part
