So I have an 08 Liberty Limited with the sky slider, which hasn't worked since I bought it.
I got the sky slider to work one night when I was working on it. All I had to do to get it to work was open the sky slider manually by turning the motor using an allen key. After that I got it to open and close a few times in both directions using the buttons, then it just stopped working.
Since then I have not been able to get it to open at all other than doing it manually. Once I have opened it manually, I can get it to close by using the buttons. It is also worth noting that It now only opens to the rear of the vehicle.
When I try and operate the motor that is supposed to open it to the front, the cable moves, but the sky slider does not, which leads me to believe that the cable came detatched from the sky slider somehow. I assume this came detatched on the night that I got it working, Because that is when it stopped opening to the front.
I would really appeciate any insight into this problem. My guess is that there is some kind of safety mechanism preventing it from opening, because I know for a fact it works since I can open it manually.
Hi Travis85904,
I’m sorry to hear about your Sky Slider concern on your Liberty. I did some research into the behavior, and may have found a Technical Service Bulletin for something similar. Your certified Jeep dealer will be able to best assess if this is a relevant bulletin to your vehicle and if any future steps are necessary. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
