About

Let's learn how automotive technology works by taking an angle grinder and disassembling ALL parts of the car! This includes the engine, transmission, hybrid, EV, fuel delivery, air induction, exhaust, steering, suspension, electronics, brakes, safety and auto body systems. The best way to grasp the engineering mindset and learn how cars work is by seeing it for yourself! My approach is balanced between my experience as a professional mechanical engineer with hands-on, easy to understand visual tutorials. This gives you a broad overview of how components fit and work together in a subsystem, technical knowledge, and the reasoning why components were designed in a certain way to begin with. Having this understanding will help you repair your car, make the right decisions and save money! Knowledge is power, and by sharing this knowledge we can all learn, discuss and benefit. Enjoy!

Video Description

Here's how the sunroof/moonroof mechanism works to allow sunlight into your car's interior. The sunroof is a body colored metal panel on the car's roof that tilts. A moonroof is a transparent window located on a car's roof that tilts and retracts into the car's body. It allows the entry of light into the cabin, an open air feeling when retracted and the ventilation of air when tilted. The sunroof/moonroof is comprised of the tracks, water channels and tubes, an electric motor with a gear train, spiral cables and a 3-bar linkage that allows the sliding and tilting of the roof into the car's body. This video shows the process of removing the headliner to access the sunroof and the full disassembly of each component to see what's inside and how it works. Vehicles with failed, broken, leaky or stuck sunroofs require a similar amount of work to be performed to access failed components, often with exorbitant labor costs due to the way it is compactly packaged. The vehicle in this video was a 2004 Infiniti G35 sedan.
