Remove the two screws located on the fulcrum bracket of the visor (they may be concealed by push caps), unclip it from it's catch, and pull the bracket down gently. Depending on the visor there may be wires still attached. Continue pulling the wire out of the hole until you see the connector and then disconnect it.

Not that difficult...either go to any scrapyard and take a bracket off a wreck, or simply drill through the bumper and attach with screws. Either will work just fine!

track its self bolts on after u take the seat out turn it upside town and un bolt the track u can pick them up at any junk yard or salvage yard

The bigest problem with this model jeep sunroof is the cable conduit in the rear of sunroof is broken loose. can be accesed by removing the headliner. But the tracks are accessed from the sunroof opening after removing the glass. the part department at the dealership can give you a breakdown basicly the only replacable parts are the tracks, Price about $200.00 each.

You will have to remove the sunroof motor, and the sunroof glass. Then you can move the guide tracks seperately until they are in the closed position. Then you can put the glass and motor back in, remove the power source (fuse or disconnect wire harness) to prevent any accidental opening until you can get it fixed. Chances are that a guide track or cable is broken, this can be a costly fix. Do not take it to the dealership, they will only want to install a whole sunroof unit. Take it to a local shop that installs aftermarket sunroofs
