Moon roof Overide

[BlazeX12]

Ok, i havent been on here in months, but when i left this was a big topic, and i was wondering if it has been solved. The stupid feature on our car where the moonroof closes only half way, and then you have to push it again to close all the way? has anyone found out how to override this???? thanx for any help.

I'll say it before anyone else does.....SEARCH.....but no, it hasn't been resolved.

Give the guy a break. Is it so wrong to start a new thread about this? I don't think so. I think it's trendy to scream "SEARCH" at everyone. I'm way more annoyed at that than an occasional new thread discussing something that's been discussed before.

Maybe a new thread will spawn a fresh start at finding a good solution to this annoyance.

I know this doesn't appy to intake and exhaust, but still the principal applies....

Big deal. Just because a mod posts a thread asking people to search and add to threads about really common topics in his subsection doesn't mean you and others like you need to scream about searching all the time. A million threads about intakes and exhausts IS a problem, but there are not a million threads about this, only a few in comparison. BlazeX12 isn't a newbie posting yet another intake thread.

I think there are a lot of people who get off on telling people to search when it's not necessary because it lets them feel like they're somehow more important than the person who started the thread. Constantly doing so needlessly discourages new lurkers with questions from asking them. Discouraging new people is a bad thing. Obviously I'm not talking about BlazeX12 here.

Okay, sorry. I'm done.

Edit: I took the swear word out of my post.

I'm going to have to agree that search was not the correct answer to his post. It's not something that gets covered on a daily basis. Something like this needs to be brought up so we can remember to research it.

I'm a FULL believer in the search feature (hell, I'm one of the "preachers"), but not in this case.

Hey man, if you wanna find whats trendy, then SEARCH!!!! ;) :D Yeah, i havent seen any threads on this before, and its nice to see a new thread every once in a while, even if its topic has been beaten to death.

Back on topic .... does anyone have any further information on how to override that *feature*

Not that I am using my moonroof too much at the moment, 'cos it's too cold but it would be nice to know.

I remember when I read this back in the day, and now that is back this is what I found, I know it doesn't say he fixed it but it gives an idea.

This thread

Now if we only had a trick like for the A/C turning on and off in defrost for the moon roof, it would kick ass :p

[BlazeX12]

In my defense, i did do a search, and all that came up was the post that were there when i was here last, which was like the end of summer, which didnt reslove it. So i thought maybe someone had posted it, but i was searching for the wrong key words. Sorry to piss anyone off, wasnt my aim. And it seems like some ppl have forgotten about the issue, and since there is alot more memebers here then when i was last here, maybe someone out there will find the answer. One more question, If i get a AEM intake is it going to suck up water?????? J/K

Back to topic... Do we know if it is a physical (is there a magnetic switch) or electronic (Programed into the switch itself) means of stopping it half way... I ask because DEI makes a one-touch module for moonroofs. I am goin to try to get ahold of one and install it. I doubt it will solve the problem, but maybe I can bypass the stop or something.

Is there anyone with a manual that could post a schematic? That might give us some ideas.

[Spidey]

I may be wrong (more than likely) but I thought I read/heard that this feature (inconvenience) can be disabled by getting a special tool and then remove the roof lining to get to the motor of the moonroof???? does that ring any bells? I believe there was some type of switch. Don't jump on me if my info is wrong.

As a side note: if everyone was to use the search key before making posts there really should be no new discussions and no use of this forum except for information purposes only as "everything" has already discussed.

[AkronSi]

I recall the same thing as you Spidey. Does anyone know if the RSX behaves the same way? There was talk on another thread that you might be able to replace the window motor in the drivers door to gain the added convienence of one-touch up with the one-touch down function.

Just another avenue to check out.

yup that was the last I heard as well (something to that effect) but the person that supposedly knew didnt respond or give any "DIY," pics, or info, that would allow us to get it done
