GB: One Touch Close Sunroof Module
This little module installs directly above the sunroof switches and allows the sunroof to open and close with one touch.
The install takes less then 5 minutes and could easily be done by a trained monkey using ordinary tools. (screw driver and socket) Only 3 wires, two of them attach with a bolt and the third uses a wire tap.
The sunroof can still be opened or closed partially by pressing the opposite button once. Please note that the sunroof will stop if there is an obstruction, but only after somewhat considerable force. It also does not automatically reverse. For this reason, a liability waiver must be signed by anyone who wishes to buy one.
Here's how to install it:
Remove map light assembly.
(1 minute)
Attach black ground wire with existing bolt.
(1 minute)
Attach power wire and trigger wire. The power wire is the one with the slide connector already crimped on. Use a Philips screw driver to loosen the screw that hold the blue wire down. After you have it loose, slip in the orange wire with the pre-crimped connector and tighten the screw.
Slide the wire splice onto the red wire. Once that is done, slide the orange wire from the module into the splice. Notice that one side of the spice has two holes. This is the side the orange wire will be inserted. Once everything is in place, crimp the connector with pliers.
(2 minutes)
Make it look neat and put the map light assembly back on the car.
(1 minute)
Watch it work!

If your paypal account is linked to your checking account, then it's $40 (you would have had to enter a check routing number and bank number when you set up the account)
if your paying with visa or mastercard, then it's $43
Does that make sense?
