    Sunroof getting stuck

    It wants to open which leads me to believe that the motor, switch and relay are fine and working so it must be track related


    Anyone have the same issues?
    Won't tilt or slide back more than couple inches

    Can you crank it manually? (pop open little cover and use Allen key found in trunk tool kit) could be worn/broken gear on motor.

      Another trick is to stand outside the car, and push down on the rear of the sunroof panel while you push the button to slide open. This helps to get it started on its way into the rear section of the roof. Mine had this same exact problem, and once I had the sunroof opened, I discovered it was getting jammed up on chunks of rust lying in the tracks. Needed to replace the panel with a rust-free one. Works great now!

        Your motor could be weak/old. Mine worked fine until I replaced the seal, it was apparently too tight. A new motor cleared that up.
