Default Sun roof can't close

When I drive this morning, open it for an hour. Once I want to close it, it has the switch sound and the volt meter drop. But it refuses to close. Any ideas, please.

Fixed it by holding the slide switch and bang a few really hard with fist, just fixed like the door windows switch.

That's great! You might want to get some silicone spray and lubricate the tracks to prevent the problem from happening again.

I tight just be gummed up from years of use, also the fact that it is cetting colder may also have something to do with it. Fresh lubricant couldn't hurt things, I would open and close it probably 10 times after applying the lubricant to work it into the tracks and other assorted nooks and crannies.
