I finally got the roof to move .... Yeah! I worked it back and forth using the manual crank setup in the left rear. I put some MBZ sunroof lube on the track.

It will now move under its own power, that's the good news ... but it is still slow. I figure I need to get to the gears and lube those and possibly the cable. So three questions:

1. How does one get the motor/gear assembly out? I see the two 10mm bolts, I took those out, but it still is held in there. What am I missing?

2. Can the gears be lubed without taking the entire assembly off/out?

3. If the cable needs to be lubed, what's the best way to do that?

As always, thanks in advance,

Haasman

Ah .... partial demonics are still there ..... after writing the above, I worked the panel some more and found that at about 3/4 of the way open the switch seemed to make it want to reserve direction.

Geesh! What is going on?
