Remove the Sunroof inner cover by prying down the front. This will expose the underside of the sunroof. Remove the keeper from the shaft in the center front. This is the end of the cable. Activate the sunroof motor and the cable will be forced out the front. There is about 12 inches of solid shaft then the cable begins. It is messy! ! ! . When the cable stops moving out, pull it out with your hands. To install a new cable, grease it, slide the end down the tube until it stops, then press the motor switch and draw the cable into the feeder tube to a length appropriate to match up with the position of the sunroof cable mounting bracket, insert the cable and replace the locking pin.

How do you check to see if you need to replace the sunroof motor?

My brother works for a Saturn dealership. He said if the fuses are good and the sunroof won't do anything it is the sunroof motor. If it moves a little bit it's either the cable or the rails. That's what the techs at the dealership told him.
