Additional Benefit = Less Wind Noise
Today I did the Sunroof Tilt mod during my lunch hour using the DIY http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/f13/moonroof-tilt-diy-53038/ It took me less than 40 minutes (taking my time, cleaning things as I went along) and only required 4 tools.
Since I purchased my car, I have noticed wind noise from the Sunroof at any speed above 40 mph. I noticed if I put a little upward pressure on the sunroof it went away. I use to close the sunshade to hide the noise.
Now that I have the tilt option, I am able to slightly press the button so the sunroof raises a millimeter and seal the sunroof properly and the noise is gone. Ahhh its so quiet now... :thumbsup:
I know I have read on here about other members that complained about wind noise, so this may be an easy fix for you too.
The DIY is great, but some additinal hints that may be helpful:
* Step 7 - Sedan - the two 10mm nuts on each side are under plastic covers that need to be removed.
* Step 7 - I had to unscrew the 2 screws and pull the drain channel out to do this mod, it was not optional for me.
* Step 8 - I used a Offset Ratchet Screwdriver instead of needle nose pliers.
* Step 9 - also need to reinstall wind deflector if you have a 91-93.
