Sunroof doesn't sit level

    If I put close the sunroof and have it down as far as it goes, the rear passenger side corner sits about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch lower than the roof of the car. I usually fix this by raising it slightly so that it sits level all the way around, but it is irritating. Anybody know how to fix this or where I can get a new one?

    I don't think so, it opens/closes and goes up and down just fine. It just doesn't sit level, like it got bent or something.

    Are those difficult to find and replace? Thanks for the help.

    Open the sunroof halfway, pull the front of the headliner attached to the sunroof down, there's 4 metal clips holding it in place.... Then slide the sunroof closed and pull the liner down.

    Now there's 3 bolts on both sides, that's the only points it's attached...there should be metal shims between the bracket and your sunroof, that level it.... It's pretty easy once you see it... gluck!

    Harbor Freight sells a huge box of different sized shims for like $7.

    Yep. Still unclear about how much money I'll actually have, but I'm definitely going to make the effort to come by.
