• Q: How to Replace the Sunroof Cable Assembly for a Smooth Sunroof Operation on 2007 Cadillac SRX?

  A: Start your front sunroof window cable assembly replacement by taking out the center window panel then extending the front sunroof window 350 mm (14 in) beyond the front air deflector position. Begin by taking out the sunroof window and the headliner and front sunshade assembly followed by the removal of the sunroof front track extension and its remaining front track screws. Pull down the track into the passenger area while detaching its rear extension from window drive tubes and sunshade before pulling the window cable assembly free from the front track. To install the cable assembly place the bullet end into the front window track and carefully guide the assembly through the track channel until the bullet surpasses the track's rear edge. Position the track at the sunroof frame's bottom edge when driving the guide link to reach the front edge of the track. Insert the main cable's bullet end into the drive tube at this point. The cable requires pushing into the drive tubes after drive tube retainer installation and repeat position of the track at the sunroof frame base. Lay the track screws loose while maintaining track parallel alignment before tightening them to 5 N.m (44 lb in) using drive tube retainers. To complete the installation sequence place the front sunshade assembly together with the headliner and front sunroof window and center window panel before performing the sunroof front window/sunshade initialization procedure.
