Sunroof not working - need your input
Did a quick search and did not find anything....I had my sunroof in the tilt position today and now it wont close. I haven't done any upgrades that would tamper with the electronics (other than HID over 1 year ago). The sunroof was NOT making any abnormal noise. Just wanted to know if there is something I can try at home before taking it tonight to the dealer. Would appreciate your input.

Edit: BTW, mine tried to close (Still had motor movement) but would automatically go back to the open tilt position after its failed attempt to close. I don't know if you have the same symptoms.

I had this happen once. I think in the manual it explains a way to force close it. I believe it's to push the button in the close position for 10 seconds; I don't remember off hand. After I did this, it functioned properly.

I had the same problem a few months back. I was not able to fix it by myself and the dealer had to fix it. It was something electronic and didn't require any parts, etc.

This one is totally dead. No motor sound.

Awesome - thanks that worked, but it does not open or close when pressing for a second or side when turning the dial (like it used to). Just when I push in the dial for like 10 seconds. Any ideas why? What could have happened? Would disconnecting the battery reset/fix this?

Got back from the dealer. It seems you have to hold down the sunroof button in and wait for the sunroof to do a complete cycle (open/close). Hope this information will help someone else in the future.

I started a thread about this few weeks ago. It was because I opened it when there was frozen water on top of my roof. When I brought it into the dealer they claimed it was "dirty". So they "cleaned and lubricant" and it was fixed. 20k miles on my car I really don't think my sunroof was dirty, they just couldn't find a better way of describing it? Oh yeah almost forgot they made 2 long SCRATCHES on my damn roof while "cleaning" it.
