I have a 2008 Lexus IS250. The other day the sunroof stopped working automatically. It will close if i turn the **** to the close position and push it. It will open if I turn it all the way to the open position but it will only open if I hold the **** to the open position. Is there a feature I missed concerning making it manual rather than automatic?

 

You might get more help in the 2nd gen subforum....

But, have you recently had a dead battery, or replaced your battery? How about your door windows? Do they auto-open/close?
