Re: Sunroof stuck open...

Let me get this straight. You're under warranty but you're trying to fix it yourself? Let me warn you (again). I took mine in when I thought the sunroof was sliding a little rough and it turned in to over $2000 covered under warranty.
You say your warranty is up soon, so I'd make plans to get in from Banff ASAP.

Take key out of ignition get out of the car and manually lock your car and hold the key in the lock position...

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

If you have it closed, resting in the correct position, with the key off, swap out with a buddies known good one, then try, seen switch problems many times, just came to mind after last post. good luck.

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

South Center I dont think is booking that far out? Does the sliding headliner part move freely? sometimes the guides break and cause all kinds of headaches in the tracks.

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

I just closed it by hand. I tried what you said too do..did the same thing. But i had it out side and it was cold. So i put it in the garage and i will try again before work tommorow morning. I havent been to the dealership yet..they are booked till next month!!! So, i will try and fix it myself for right now. Any idea what i could be? the motor?

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

I guess none of you guys know about the override button for the sunroof? If you are having problems with the pinch protection (sunroof closes part way then goes back), try using the override button. Turn the sunroof dial to the closed position, then press and hold the front part of the dial. This will force the sunroof to close and ignore the pinch protection, so if it is physically able to close, it will.

press and hold as in push it in toward the roof of the car? and hold. Interesting gem of info there . Thanks

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

But get it thoroughly checked out BEFORE your warranty expires. They are very expensive to fix at the dealer. I know, I've been there -- thankfully under warranty.

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

close it manually, key off, place knob in closed position, turn ign on, then move to vent, then close, then open. in a warm place might be a good idea
