Hi folks.
I'm looking to replace one of my sunroof (Moonroof) drive cables.
I've tried Googling it and Youtube but there doesn't seem to be any information online.
Does anyone know where I can get info on this?

Not sure what type of sunroof you have, but I've attached the sunroof pdf from my 2008 Lexus RX350. It covers the multipanel roof and the single panel roof. I think that the information on the last 6 pages may help you, hopefully.

Thanks Trebbor. I had a look but it's a different type to mine. I've now got it removed and ordered the cables.
Lexus quoted me £600 (About $765), however I managed to get new cables from an online auction site for £45 ($57)

It's not too difficult a job, but you do need to be carefull as it's so easy to damage parts.

1. Remove the centre light, roof control switch panel and sun visors (2 screws behind the cover) from the front of the roof lining.
2. Remove all 4 hand grips.
3. Loosen the 2 front pillar covers.
4. Loosen the 2 lower centre covers at the seatbelts. These are retained with clips. Takes a strong pull or in my case, push.
5. Now loosen the 2 upper centre panel covers, Secured with 2 nuts at the bottom.
6. Now lower the lining carefull not to damage it.
7. While lowering disconnect wires.
8. Once the lining is lowered, the sunroof frame can be remover by removing all the 10mm nuts.

I was able to take the frame out the back door by lowering the front seat to it's lowest position. (Remove headrest).
