How to remove the Sunroof or convertible Sunroof housing on Toyota Venza?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step to remove the sliding roof or convertible sliding roof housing involves opening No. 2 sliding roof glass sub-assembly fully while using a T20 "TORX" socket wrench to detach the 6 screws that hold No. 1 sliding roof glass sub-assembly. Begin by taking out the screw followed by the sliding roof side garnish LH using a T25 "TORX" socket wrench and then follow the same steps for the RH side. First fully extend the No. 2 sliding roof glass sub-assembly and then use a T25 "TORX" socket wrench to disconnect three screws which allows removal of the No. 2 sliding roof glass sub-assembly. After removing the roof headlining assembly continue by separating the curtain shield Air Bag assembly from both the left-hand and right-hand sides. Disassemble the No. 3 sliding roof glass sub-assembly through the removal of its twenty nuts. The procedure for removing the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly starts by removing the bolt, nut along with the room light bracket before extracting both components. Move on to remove the front sliding roof housing mounting bracket LH by removing 2 bolts and 2 nuts before repeating the procedures for the RH side. Both LH and RH sides of the center sliding roof housing mounting bracket require removal of three bolts and three nuts. You need to take the bolt and nut out from the rear sliding roof housing mounting bracket LH while performing the same operation on the RH side. User safety demands two technicians to carefully remove the sliding roof housing assembly after detaching its 18 nuts (at least two technicians will prevent vehicle damage).
