We all know of the possessed sunroof that opens & closes at will. Yes, mine likes to pop up on occasion... It vents open fine and usually closes flush with the roof OK. If I ask it to retract...it sinks down and starts to go back about 3 mms, than it stops with a nasty creak. It will close from the stuck position. Think its just a faulty switch or is it jammed?? The problem originated in a full open position, as it was sliding shut, it shuddered to a stop. I pushed it forward *gently* and it shut under its own power. It never retracted again since then, always jams after a few mms.

Smell anything dead inside your car, cuz my friend had that happen to him, a bird flew into the sunroom jam, and when it closed, there was just a bunch of sheit that was wrong with his sunroof.
Just a guess.

I had to have both rails replaced because the sunroof was making clicking sounds and sometimes would not close completely.

stiffer chassis at least?? No more black flags at track events for the ol' "opened sunroof whilst on track mod".

seriously, I agree, its most likely jammed. Some of that there plastic pieces mentioned above did come off many years ago. I suppose it was time.
