1978 e12 trunk sunroof motor installation
Posted: Sat Feb 29, 2020 12:03 am
Hello all - does anyone have instructions on how to install the sunroof motor drive in the trunk of an e12? Today, I attempted to swap my tired motor for my new motor assembly. All going well until I got to the part where I could not figure out how to get the cable guide flange - that is seated in the designated slot of the gear housing - out of its position. You will note, in the pics below, that the large gear the drive the worm drive cable back and forth is secured by a large nut facing the inside of the trunk. I was not able to get this nut undone. How did the BMW techs manage a motor assemble swap? Thank you
