I'd probably rather pay $50 at the local audio place than do that, lol. And thanks!

I don't know who Drew is.. and why are you asking where I said I live when it's on the plate? Lol.

I'd say she looks pretty damn good for a 12 year old car.

Drew is Sarge, He just sold his black one today. I asked because I also live in Indiana and couldn't remember if you already told me. Thought you did.

Yeah, but the head unit and the sunroof kind of **** me off... The head unit won't be too bad of a price and I have a Kenwood head unit I could put in there. The sunroof I have no idea how to fix, I can't find anything online, and it'll probably cost a sh*t load.

I think Trewyn has a vid on Youtube showing how to remove the dash to get to the radio. Did you try to talk him down further in price because of the sunroof?

Looks good with a lot of potential. A little TLC and you'll have that thing lookin' real sharp in no time.

looks good! Dash is really easy to take off.. I've had mine off three or four times and it just keeps getting easier lol maybe 5 or 6 screws total.. one behind glove box door, two in fuse panel on the drivers side, and two between dash and center counsel / cup holder, the rest is clips. Paying someone would be easier and faster but I like messing around with my car and doing anything I can.. and it saves me money lol

You Can thank Mitch for this Video for Dash Removal. It really helped me out a few weeks back when I had my stepper motors replaced!

if its close to the 02 which it very well might be.
there are lots of things in here to try for the sunroof- most of which being electronic. and depending how handy you are, shouldnt have too much of a problem.

If the motor still operates normally and the glass moves forward and back but stops shy of fully closing, it needs adjusted.

If you hear the motor trying to work but its not moving, odds are the motor is bad unless the guy you bought it from jammed something in the track. the manual doesnt show how to unjam it.
