• Q: How to Replace the Front Sunroof Cable Assembly on 2005 Cadillac SRX?

  A: The first step for front sunroof window cable assembly replacement consists of removing the center window panel and opening the front sunroof window 350 mm (14 in) beyond the front air deflector. Start by removing the front sunroof window followed by the headliner then the front sunshade assembly. Then remove the sunroof front track extension and all front track screws. Pull the sunroof window cable assembly from the front track after you lower the track into the passenger compartment. Carefully pull the cable assembly from the front track before disengaging the front track rear extension from sunshade and window drive tubes. When installing position the cable bullet end into the front window track and gently push the cable assembly into the track channel until the bullet end passes beyond the track's back side. Push the cable until the drive guide link passes the front track boundary. Move the track to the sunroof frame base before inserting the bullet-end window cable into the drive tube. The drive tube retainer must then be installed while pushing the cable until the track reaches the drive tubes. Retrace the frame bottom path for a second time before final installation. After initial track screw installation, verify parallelism between the tracks by measurements and tighten screws to 5 N.m (44 lb in) while securing the track to drive tube retainers. To finish installation you must assemble and install the sunshade front assembly along with the headliner and front sunroof window and center window panel before doing the sunroof front window/sunshade initialization sequence.
