when mine was on the fritz hitting the roof from inside the car helped. Its probably the motor and you probably need it replaced.

you will have 2 choices... as the same thing happend to me... when i had my car in high school (its gone now)...

but

1.) you could close the sunroof permanatly for around 75$
or
2.) get a new motor installed for around 650$(this was like 4yrs ago). the reason its so much isn' the motor itself, those are like 100$. replacing a sunroof motor is so incredibly labor intensive and usually requires a lot of new wiring.

i would have all the fuses checked, and if its only open a little i wouldn't worry too much, the gutter systems on most sunroofs can take huge amounts of water.

hope that was some help

i really doubt its anything more than a two dollar replacement fuse.

just take it to your dealer, although you'll have to pay a 50 dollar min. labor charge.


when it went out were you pressing it and other window buttons at the same time? or did it just not work one time when you tried it?

it just didnt work when i tried to close it, and i opened it prolly like 10-20 min. before.

yeah ima go to my collision dude, he really knows these things and wont charge me up the ass. hope to god its just a fuse.

You need to lube up & start humping your sunroof. I beleive it is on stike because you are not giving it the any attention anymore.
