I have a 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood D'elegance with a faulty sunroof

I have a 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood D'elegance with a power sunroof that is malfunctioning. It will not seat itself and seal properly and it will not go forward or back. The motor engages but something clicks and it will not completely open or close. I believe I could fix it if I was given the right advice. It seems to be slightly askew.

Sounds like you have a problem with the drive motor gear engaging with the track (jammed) - often caused by misalignment or debris/corrosion on the track. Getting at the sunroof mechanical assembly is not easy - you will need to remove the headliner to diagnose the problem and repair it. A service manual will be helpful showing all the components and procedures for repair (you can also try Alldatadiy.com).

SOURCE: Sunroof

Open the shade cover to access the sunroof from inside the car. On each side of the sunroof (driver and passenger) there is a black accordian looking cosmetic molding, toward the back side of the sunroof (rear of the car) stick your finger behind it at the top and pull you will now be able to see a T25 (torx) screw you will need to slightly loosen it on each side of the car if they are not already loose then push up on the center rear of the sunroof. you may want to have someone outside of the car to tell you the proper height, when you have the proper hight set tighten the screws then replace the molding. You are done, no more noise!

What is the easiest way to get to the freeze plug in my 88 cadillac fleetwood de elegance? Can u show diagram please?

Thar would depend upon which of the dozen or so freeze plugs you need to access. Some are fairly easy and can be worked on with the engine in the vehicle. Some are accessible if you remove some other bolt-on parts. Some are only accessible if you remove the engine from vehicle, and a few are only accessible if you separate the transmission from the engine.
