raising the rear of the manual sunroof
 

so the hayne manmual says to

remove the headliner.....okay

to raise the rear loosen the locking brackets .....okay

turn the bolts on the rear bracket to proper height. huh

all i did today was lower the rear a half inch. no ship. it takes 4 wooden shims to put it back up with the headliner out. is the only option taking it to a body shop and having them weld the hole shut?

what are the rear brackets haynes talks about? is it the locking bracket?

the quick answer is..........................................
 

i shimmed it. then i caulked it. the friday night caulk job dissolved in the rain. the next day vast streams of whiteish fluid came washing over us. the seats were wet and carpeting soaked. today the car sits in the garage(first of our cars in it is 6 years) and the caulk is drying fine.
