Hey all, now that i finally got around to doing some work on my car i thought i'd open up a thread for updates and such.

Today i finally got my sunroof closed. It still doesn't work but atleast its closed and looks much nicer Here is a picture of before and after.





Then after doing that i took the car for a much needed wash and i was going to start compounding the scratches on the trunk but the compound i had was dried up and useless

Glad to see it's finally closed!!! Maybe next time when someone says it's broken you'll listen

Your trunk looks like the Camaro's. I can't stand it, I can't wait for a nice weekend to finally get the compound out.

Maybe this weekend when I'm up at my parents' I can TRY.

yea haha, curiosity got the better of me and i needed to find out what was wrong and now i know. Tommorow i'm going to buy some new compound and hopefully get some work done, theres alot of scuffs around the car but that is by far the worst.

I know how you feel about the sunroof. I had to use a screwdriver to close mine a couple years ago, lol. Get a junkyard motor and you'll be all set. Keep up the good work on your 5th gen. They're starting to become a rare breed these days.

Yea i see a ton of 6th gens on the road and the ocasional 5th gen. I dont think my problem is the motor itself as it works fine, i believe its the linkages and the whole sliding mechanism itself that gave me the issue.
