Default 1995 LS 400 Sunroof will not close all the way

1995 LS 400 navy w/ tan interior
152,000 Miles
Very good condition, will post pics eventually

Bought with 135,000 miles
Replaced neutral saftey switch
new front Arnott struts
front wheel bearings replaced

Sympton: The sunroof will close and open completely and I believe as it should:

Push button once hold for 2 seconds release and the sunfoor will open all the way.
When closing gcontinue holdin button and it will close but stops at 2/3...you have to then release the button and push and hold again and it will close all the way. Pretty sure it isn't supposed to stop 2/3 of the way and have to relase the button and push again.


All other windows work fine up and down.

Any ideas? Thank you for any ideas and suggestions

It's supposed to be a safety feature, so that heads, hands or what else you can think of will not get squeezed. I.e. that behaviour is normal and described in the car manual.

I wish there was a way around this PITA feature.
