Walc,

Every time I see your name I think of a whelk. I have no idea if the US has whelks but as a kid in a small town in the UK called London my grandfather would take me to Petty Coat Lane market in the East End on a Sunday and smother whelks in white pepper and malt vinegar and make me eat ‘em. As I grew up I started to like them, and jellied eels with white pepper and malt vinegar.

What was I saying?

Never mind </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

So, what are you saying, Alec?
You are starting to like me or you want to eat me?

Well back to the discusion at hand.

Here is a video of my factory sunroof, it works as advertised. I did it twice and the second time seemed to be a little harder, but it still reversed.

Mine works that way too. Great video...

Think I'll just sit around and watch the fun...

CO,
I guess you, too, want to eat me, with white pepper and malt vinegar.
I'm sorry; but, I'm hetro. Perhaps, you and Alec should start dating.

Alec,
I assume you are out of your drug induced haze.
Maybe, you should reflect upon the poll you posted.
60% of the members want you to leave.

Chip 02-20-2006 03:23 PM

This just gave me a great idea. I'll park under an apple tree and ask my Mother in law to reach up and fetch an apple. After the law suit I'll live like a king.

I need to find somebody to try the human sacrifice/sunroof test with.

I tried mine several times today and it did work by lightly pushing back on the glass with my fingers. HOWEVER- I stuck a pair of gloves in between the glass and frame and then closed the sunroof and it closed all the way- if that were fingers they would have been crushed at the least.

I also looked up the sunroof description and operation in the GM Dealer Service Manual and there is no mention of the anti-pinch feature:

Sunroof Description and OperationThe power sunroof is controlled by the sunroof switch through the open and close motor control circuits. Ignition voltage is supplied to the sunroof switch through the retained accessory power (RAP) relay and the sunroof 20A fuse in the underhood BEC. While the sunroof switch is in an inactive state both switch contacts are closed to the sunroof switch ground circuit. When an open or close button is pressed on the sunroof switch, its switch contact is closed to the voltage supply circuit. The motor is bi-directional and the direction of motor rotation is determined by which of the motor control circuits is switched to positive voltage while the other remains grounded.

PackerFever 02-22-2006 06:25 PM

I made the mistake of watching that Cat video and have been kind of disturbed since...more so than usual. I will not make the mistake of letting Mrs Fever see it though. I guess curiosity killed the cat.

From the owner's manual:
Anti-Pinch Feature
If an object is in the path of the sunroof when it is closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the object and stop the sunroof from closing at the point of the obstruction. The sunroof will then return to the full-open
or vent position, and the air deflector will raise.


I would also like to point out that a pair of gloves will not offer the resistance required to stop the sunroof and reverse it. A pencil will stop it, as well as fingers.

How it works (not in the service manual), but I will assume it operates similar to any Valeo or Wabasto sunroof with the anti-pinch feature. There is an internal quick blow circuit breaker built into the motor. A set resistance to the sunroof glass causes the breaker to break the circuit, stopping the sunroof movement. The module senses the break in the circuit, and that it is not fully closed or open, and reverses direction.

I will say it will pinch, but it certainly did not break my fingers or even leave a mark that lasted more than 30 seconds.

If some are not operating corrrectly, I would guess the motor module has to be replaced.

X 2....

Klint 02-24-2006 01:52 AM

Sh** i think the thing should cut off your finger if you have it in it... If you're dumb enough to stick your finger in it and close it then you don't need that finger

walc 02-24-2006 11:38 AM

Good point, Klint.
That is the major weakness in our class action suit.

Bill1065 02-24-2006 01:58 PM

I tried mine twice. I tapped it with my wrist about midway to closing and it reversed. I then tapped it about 3 to 5 inches to closing with the wrist; it did reverse. The second time scared me; I didn't want my hand to end up like the cat head in the commercial.

This thread reminds me of the time I tested my new pistol's saftey. I flipped it on and tried as hard as I could to pull the trigger while I held it against my temple.
