Any help?

Remove sun roof switch cover. Remove large screw. Ensure not to lose spring washer or shim. Insert "S" shaped screwdriver into hole and turn drive shaft to operate.

carter2 is that the manual way to open the sunroof?

no manual options on Galants.....if the motor clicking an nothing happening more than likely the lithium grease has turned to hard plastic.
You will have to take it down and try to dissolve the mess. or buy a working roof

xtech, thanks for the response... i will take off the glass and check the tracks out... I have actually been wanting to do that, but I have not been able to time the weather to get chance...

Any recommendations on what I can use to dissolve that grease?

Hey Tuners, my sunroof on 2006 CS3 Lancer was stuck open yesterday. Got it to close with some WD40 and hand strength but it is not fully closed and sealed. Can anyone help me with this, looking for any experienced techs in this area.

Much Thanks.
