These guys might be some help, seen good reviews all around Perth of them:

Take off the control panel, dunno about the Liners', but most Nissans have like a flathead screw you can turn to close the sunroof if it gets stuck open.

If its leaking as well you're probably f**ked with water damage though

Checked the drain pipes to make sure theyre not clogged ? Theyre in both A and both C pillars, and come out at the wheel.

i went to prestige and they wanted 1.4k so im kinda leaning towards in repairing it myself

If its water seals I think you need new glass, as you can't get the seal alone.

Pull the whole assembly out, check the roof for water damage, hopefully you dont have any rust, clear out the drain pipes with high pressure air or water (dont forgot, if water builds up in the pillars, you're in alot deeper shit than 1.4K), check the sunroof controls and maybe get a new one if the eletronics are damaged, then finally, rip the actual sunroof apart and check if the cable is jammed or twisted anywhere, make sure the rails are all sweet, etc.

Devote atleast one day, if not a weekend, to the job.

Good luck

dude, got a 32 with a sunroof (not sure if its the same as yours) i had 100% same problem as you, i did everything you discussed as well as.... on mine looking from the outside in, the glass sits in like a frame and water builds up and just sits there so i got that black silicone stuff they stick windscreens down with and neatly put a thin strip the whole way around between the glass and that frame.

fixed the bulk of the problem

hope this helps

sorry thats just to keep the water out

[Chi100188]

lol hmmm rails need some oiling/lubing hmmm i think i gotta rip the whole thing out i know hte pillars are not blocked for sure lol mmm

[Chi100188]

and now its not the water seals mate liek the glass at the rear just sits lower 4-5mm so i think i need ot adjust it or something

[Nic_A31]

Just pull the assembly out an rebuild it. Does it sit uneven the whole way or more to one side? probably the cable out of line, can maybe even correct it without removing the assembly from the roof ?

Even if the pillars arent blocked, use the opportunity to flush them.

[Chi100188]

yeah i will hmmm how do i flush them lol? i danno how to pull the WHOLE assembly off lol do you know how? i wanan rebuild it aye lol get my roof working and pimp it out ahh well if ur up for some week end sun roof repairing let me know buy u a carton or something

[Nic_A31]

Where abouts in Perth are you?

Clear the pipes with a shitload high pressure air.

Getting the assembly out can't be THAT hard can it? and what do you mean by 'pimp it out' ? I have a scrict policy against helping ghetto lowrider shit
