About a week ago, both of my sunroofs were stuck open. They could move front and back but not close. Various clues…motor, ecu, stuck safety switch. After removing the top panel behind the mirror, I even cleaned the connections, no luck here. Not bad however for being a ‘97.
What you needed was a second set of eyes to observe how the sunroofs not close. In my case, one outer corner seemed to hang, thereby increasing resistance and the motor simply stops. It was observed that the guides in the angular tracks that bring the sunroof down were worn, and all it needed was a gentle lift to overcome any initial resistance, and down she goes. Sorry no pictures, for it has been raining here for the last week. Also, due to the ‘misalignment’ I could not even close the sunroofs manually. So off to get some new tracks and/or guides.
