Just need some advice here i don't know if anyone experienced this. I searched and nothing came up so here it is,

At random times already happened twice, when i try to close my sunroof it doesn't close all the way. Right when its about to close it just opens back up. Obviously when i try to take it to the dealer it works fine. I was able to capture a video on my phone explaining and showing whats happening, but before i just take it in and show them the video any insight?

anyone know what it can be?

 

it prolly just needs to be reprogrammed

 

GenuineKid , does it open up as if your **** was set on tilt? Mine closes and goes up a bit but is still closed.

 

It sounds like it might be stopping when it sense the pressure from the wind deflector.
Something for you to look into.

 

nope. When i try to set it on close it's about to close then reopens.

hopefully its just that..

Its not the pressure since i was parked and trying to close it. I even checked if something was blocking it but nope.

 

mine did that a few times too......stopped doing it though and i forgot about it until i saw this post. You are not alone bro!

 

Unfortunately, it sounds like a bad batch of motors made it into production--$1,000 bucks from Lexus should fix it.

 

Mine too, 06' is350

 

I had this problem before too...I open my sunroof almost everytime i get in the car. I had mine fixed under warranty, they replaced the motor. It's happened only twice since...I have to remember not to open it when it's really cloudy outside...then again, I live in So Cali, it doesn't rain here.

 

thanks. I should probably do that. If they hassle me, i can show them my video doing it so we'll see.

 

Had this occur 3 or 4 times over the last 3 years. May be coincedence but when it happens it appears that there is grease build up on the guides at the wind deflector, when I remove some of the grease out of the end of the guide the roof closes. Again could just be coincidence that he roof closes after 4 or 5 attempts.

 

same here..pretty lame and dissapointed

 

true, well im taking my car into the dealership today, we'll see what the outcome is.

So it seems like it might be a common problem.. but no one really attempted to go after it since it fixed it self.. but i seriously don't want my sunroof stuck open when it rains.

 

I have this problem too. My remedy to close the dang thing was to move the **** through each position until finally at the close position. Otherwise if I put it straight to close from any open position, it will open back up again.

 

The other thing I do is get a buddy, and while the sunroof is in the process of closing, forcefully push it in
