Sun Roof Tool - Honda Prelude Forum

MR.CLIFFORD · 04-18-2002, 12:38 PM

I was cleaning out my trunk yesterday when I found an old pouch that had all the wheel jack parts in it. I was searching through it and found a sun roof tool. What the hell is that for??

If your sunroof ever dies while it's open, there is a plastic plug in the roof you can pull out and crank the sunroof closed manually.

Sweet. Is the plug in the roof liner?

I read most of it while I waited for them to complete the "Honda 1xx point inspection" to approve my extended warranty, however, I don't remember anything about a sunroof tool. I wonder if I even have the tool?

Well I found the plug but I didn't mess around with it! The tool is a Z shape and about 6 inches in length. Has two different ends on it. Not sure why!

Check the little tool kit that's in the trunk (either with the spare tire, or with the jack). I saw a post on this thing a long time ago, and I went and looked for it, and tried it out. It's nifty

One end goes into the roof for the crank, you hold the other end and turn it by hand.
