Default HELP!!! Sun roof wont close!! 98 LS.

Hey guys so the pass two days i had my sun roof tilled and today when i was driving home from my ladies house, i open the sun roof while i was driving on the freeway and when it got cold i try to close it but it WONT close!?! It closes but get into the till position then closes real fast then open all within 5 sec from me pushing the close button. Then after parking my car and shutting it down and everything, i re try it and it still does the same thing. I even check if anything got in the way and nothing was there. I need help!!!!

most likely something stuck in the rail or on the cover?

I dont know about your sunroof, but I sure would like to be "where it got cold"

First thing I thought was "Where the hell is it cold? I need to move there." It's not as bad here like it is in Texas, Billy. But now we got this damn hurricane coming on Sunday. Supposed to be as bad, or worse, then Gloria back in '85. I was young and dumb driving around in it, in a fiberglass body paneled Camaro.
But anyway, like PD said, sounds like there's something in the rail, somewhere where you can't see good.

NVM guys, i got it fix, i called up Paul from Lextech and in sec, he knew how to fix it over the phone! HONESTLY guys, Paul is magic! He told me to hold down the close button for more then a sec, then once it closes let it set till it completely close and release it. And BAM! Its fix! Thanks Paul!
