I'm rebuildig my 1992 GS and I'm havin issues with my sunroof. It opens fine, but when it goes to close, it won't close all the way, like its not being guided in right. Went to several junkyards around here and couldn't find a MX3 with a sunroof intact to compare the 2 to see if something is broken or mising. Mazda dealer wants to charge me $35 an hour to look at it, and my mechanic doesn't know too much on sunroofs. The crazy thing-most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't.
Also, the weather stripping around the sunroof doesn't reach all the way around-has like a good 1"-2" gap between ends. On my junkyard travels i picked up a new strip and that one doesn't reach either-is it supposed too? Im afraid of me not getting home in time to throw the tarp over it so it doesn't leak again-crazy new england weather
Sunroof issues
the weatherstripping on my sunroof has a gap in the middle where the two peices meet. it's about 1/2-1" I'd say. Mine doesn't leak but I have had the problem once before where it would not close all the way, it would close to the point where it just had to drop down but then would just sit there. I Believe there is a belt in there and I'm pretty sure that when it didn't close entirely it was due to the belt slipping. Perhaps your belt is worn and loose, if there even is 1. Check the Online Shop manual. the link is on the front page.

Mine had trouble closing for a while, then it opened and wouldnt close at all, so I had to close it manually, which was a pain. It is still broken, the motor makes noise when I press the button. I tried checking the online shop manual, but the sunroof pages either arent uploaded yet or they just wont load for me.
