Same here car has 52000km. Honda saying not covered. Had both rear fenders painted cause of rust after fighting with them even tho I had extended warranty on paint but wont cover sunroof. Never seen that on sunroof before .
Take it up with Honda corporate instead of the dealer. That’s how another members had theirs resolved.
Yes that's my plan Tuesday. Now that I know I'm not the only one .thanks
A lot of times in smaller cars with no rear hatch the windshield has to come out to get the headliner out. Not sure if you can get it out through the door.
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm afraid of. My thought at the moment is either to fully recline the front seats (or remove them) and then try to twist the headliner on its side to slide out a rear door. But, my car is 700miles away from me right now (it's a long story) so this isn't happening for a few weeks, at the earliest.
Would make the diag a lot easier to get it out but still doable with it in.
Yeah, if I knew what I was specifically going up into the inner roof for, I'd probably leave it in place. However, I want to remove it to aid in troubleshooting over time (plus time for parts delays, installation, and extended testing). So, I'm expecting the headliner to be out, once I get it out, for a few months at a minimum. I just looked through some old pics I took from my dash cam install (see dash cam thread), since the rake on the windshield and rear glass is so long (making the headliner fairly short in comparison to the interior's length), I think there may be enough room with the front seats out of the way to twist it and get it out the driver's side rear door (dropping it down on the passenger's side to avoid the steering wheel and column). And, I didn't see anything attached to the headliner itself (so, I must've confused that from memories of my Pilot's headliner which does have harnesses and hoses attached to the headliner) which means this will likely be a slightly easier job once I can get started on it.
Well, I removed the headliner a few months ago and haven't done much with the sunroof system. That was until yesterday. To recap, about a year ago, it started acting up. Basically, it would open but wouldn’t close (you could hear a click, but no motor action) and progressively got worse (at times, it wouldn’t even open or lift the back, basically, just intermittent operation all around). Due to my move and what not, this has been on the back burner. I messed with this a bit yesterday and today and I think I’ve narrowed down the problem to the integrated relay on the circuit board which controls the motor. Admittedly, I’m guessing a little on that as the minimal replacement part is the motor assembly (Honda part 70450-TR0-A01) at a cost of $300 (list price).
I think that is what I was leaning towards doing next as well. That would definitely confirm the fault is on the board, at least somewhere, and make me a little more comfortable with replacing the motor assembly.
assuming the motor is just power and ground you can also apply power and ground to it and see if its working.
are you testing it with the motor on that board ? if not i wonder if it doesnt see voltage back it will shut off the relay? hard to know how that works with out the proper honda diagnostics though. i have access to prodemand let me know if you want any wiring diagrams
