Here's how the sunroof/moonroof mechanism works to allow sunlight into your car's interior.

The sunroof is a body colored metal panel on the car's roof that tilts. A moonroof is a transparent window located on a car's roof that tilts and retracts into the car's body. It allows the entry of light into the cabin, an open air feeling when retracted and the ventilation of air when tilted.

The sunroof/moonroof is comprised of the tracks, water channels and tubes, an electric motor with a gear train, spiral cables and a 3-bar linkage that allows the sliding and tilting of the roof into the car's body.

This video shows the process of removing the headliner to access the sunroof and the full disassembly of each component to see what's inside and how it works. Vehicles with failed, broken, leaky or stuck sunroofs require a similar amount of work to be performed to access failed components, often with exorbitant labor costs due to the way it is compactly packaged.

The vehicle in this video was a 2004 Infiniti G35 sedan.
