Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2002 sunroof will not stay closed, retracts as soon as it hits the front edge in the close position. New battery 2 months ago..... Not sure how to research diy directory thanks

POST 2Original post

Maybe reset the limits. Press and hold the open button. Continue to hold for 10 seconds after it reaches the limit. Then hit the close button and continue to hold the button for 10 seconds after it reaches the full close position.

POST 3Original post

R u sure its closing fully? Someyimes mine will stop and then open like a garsge door that hits something. I just hold the button and it will go past the spot and latch.

Thats exactly what is happening, going back to open like a garage door. Any easy fix like a switch or cleaning a sensor? thanks

POST 5Original post

Mine works correctly most of the time. I assume its sticking in the track and reversing. For me its random and i just hold the button to close it when it happens and chaulk it up to a 20yr old car thing.

POST 6Original post

I have a policy of never opening the sunroof on an older car which it’s good on. Joking aside mine is not even opening. Have to address it sooner than later... Will follow your findings in case I learn something. But once it's operational I'm not touching it 🙂

i have had to push down while hitting the botton to help it get started. I think my issues stem from the po having non sunfroof tool bar in a sunroof car.
