Hey this is E36 Fanatic Steven and today I'm removing a sunroof motor just right here. I
0:17
want to show you all how to do it. It's pretty pretty straightforward so first you start off
0:24
with this cover right here and you can see it on here it's got these two
0:32
tabs on either side of it which are actually covered by these little lamp
0:39
shades that are over it. Now what I did is I just took a really small screwdriver
0:43
and popped these things right out. They just pop in and out. See the little
0:48
plastic tabs they got. Just be gentle with it of course. And then once you do that you
0:56
take these tabs and you press them in Just press them in with a screwdriver and pull and this cover will come right out
1:08
So once you got that, you got access to your motor. You do have a lot of wires that you have to unplug
1:13
but they're pretty easy to unplug. Most of them you just pull right out
1:18
But once you're here, you have a couple different bolts. And let me see, the bigger one is a T25
1:32
Yep, T25. Okay, so when you're removing this, these three little bolts right here, these T20s
1:43
Don't touch those because those actually, they're not part of the actual removal of the motor
1:49
They actually hold the motor together. So if you pull those out, then your gears will start popping out
1:57
So don't touch those. Just once you've got these two bolts on either side, the T25's out, there's a 10mm bolt right here you remove, and then this pops right out
