Converting a manual sunroof to electric?

(1/2) > >>

I assume this is fairly simple.

Buy a motor.
Buy an new plastic motor cover/light/pocket thing.
Wire it up.

Anybody see anything that I have missed?

A suitable switched power supply.

Not forgetting the fuse.

I assume the motor has some kind of thermal cut out when it reaches full travel.

beast5680:
i think there is a control unit that sits in the roof somewhere that controls the sunroof opening/closing etc as well

TimM:
It's a shame your not a bit nearer as I have an electric sunroof (as a spare) in my garage, it was a steal off ebay for about £5 when someone forgot to put a reserve on  :twisted:
