When you talk about the hidden mount @12:15....I wonder if you could use some heavy duty ratchet straps to move the motor over a bit with the the straps wrapped around the air intake port and the intake manifold? I think I've seen others do it, to give them temporary space.

Hi Murph! I Personally I would not try to move the engine by pulling on the intake manifold but I wouldn't doubt someone has tried that lol The way I did it was as mentioned on the video, following the service manual just lifting the engine up with a jack and plenty of patience 🙃 Cheers!

Hi 7 Logik! ah yes here are the instructions from the 2004 service manual: "The upper and lower torque struts need to be adjusted together to assure proper engine positioning and engine mount loading. Whenever a torque strut bolt(s) is loosened, this procedure must be performed. (1) Remove accessory drive belt splash shield (2) Remove pencil strut (3) Loosen the upper and lower torque strut attaching bolt at the suspension crossmember and shock tower bracket. (4) The engine position may now be adjusted by positioning a suitable floor jack on the forward edge of the transmission bell housing. (5) With the engine supported, remove the upper and lower torque strut attachment bolt(s) at shock tower bracket and suspension crossmember. Verify that the torque struts are free to move within the shock tower bracket and crossmember. Reinstall the torque strut bolt(s), but do not tighten. (6) Carefully apply upward force, allowing the upper engine to rotate rearward until the distance between the center of the rearmost attaching bolt on the engine mount bracket (point “A”) and the center of the hole on the shock tower bracket (point “B”) is 119 mm (4.70 in.). (7) With the engine held at the proper position, tighten both the upper and lower torque strut bolts to 115 N·m (85 ft. lbs.)" Hope this helps bud!

Thank you 400 HDFILMS! A yes the sunroof seems to be one of the common parts that quickly fail on our cars (either mechanical or work but starts leaking. When looking to fix mine I found that the assembly can really only be bought used from those pick part places that tear down cars. I have not found a place that sell them new due to the age of the car. So my solution is to just delete the moving part of the sunroof with DCR's Lexan sunroof kit darrellcoxracing.com/shop/ols/products/dcr-lexan-molded-sunroof Video on the install for it is coming, It may not be for everyone but I like the weight savings and also eliminating the complexity of the actual sun roof motor assembly.

Hi Modified Family LLC! ah yes there is a captive nut underneath that in some cases like yours may need to be held to keep it from turning, however it is a little tricky because not all the nut is accessible, only the top portion of it, in some cases a socket is enough to keep from spinning but in other locking pliers are the only way to hold it.
