anyone have any idea how much work is involved with replacing the sunroof motor in a 97 prelude sh? mine seems to be struggling quite a bit to open and close lately.

might just need some lubing up. i haven't done this myself, but it doesn't seem too hard of a task to take apart and check on the motor or the cables.

go to that link and download the manual section for chapters 19-20. you'll find instructions on what you're planning to do on pages 100 through 101 or 102.

Cleaning and relubing the rails worked great for me. Before doing that, the moonroof would struggle to open/close.

It's actually really easy.

Step 1: Close the moonroof. Find the black plastic strips on the left and right of the underside of moonroof glass. Remove the little screw cover in each strip. Then remove the 2 strips.

Step 2: Remove the 8 bolts holding the glass in place. Be aware of the shims (how many and where they go) so you can put them back in place.

Step 3: Pull glass out.

Step 4: Clean and relube the tracks with a good lithium grease.

Step 5: Reassemble.
