I went to close my sunroof on my 04 SE with the slider switch as normal, but itwont close. It stops just short of the closed position. Advice plz

 

if u hold the switch like if ur closing it, it will reset.

 

This happened to me once and I used the other switch that tilts it open to inch it closed.

 

Yeah after reading the manual, I used the tilt switch, but even that didnt close it all the way. I noticed when the slider switch is all the back/open, the sunroof opens. But when I move it forward by one position, it doesnt move. The whole thing needs to be recalibrated and im lost.

Do 6th gens have the manual crank inside? AKA if i remove the sunroof/map light assembly will I find a crank for it to close it shut by hand? I know the 3rd gens have that feature (I have one and have done it before). Please help ASAP as the forecast here calls for rain tonight!

 

Can't hurt to have a look....surely, it would have to have a manual crank.

Restarting the sunroof sliding switch

The sliding switch will become inoperable after
the battery terminal is disconnected, the electrical
supply interrupted and/or some abnormality
detected. Use the following reset procedure to
return sunroof operation to normal.

1. If the sunroof lid is open, push the tilting
switch repeatedly toward the DOWN position
to fully close the lid.

2. Finally, push and hold the tilting switch for
more than 2 seconds toward the DOWN
position to reestablish the lids home position.

The sunroof should now operate normally

 

you probably disconnected your battery with the sunroof open... just use the slider and then run through the buttons... it'll refix itself

 

Good post, have the same problem and didnt know how to fix it. Thought the motor was out but it works when it wants too. Ill try reseting it to see if that helps

 

Mine when the glass slides towards the pop-up wind deflector, the resistance from hitting the deflector causes the auto reverse sensor to stop the glass from closing and slide back. by either holding that deflector down when closing the roof or shortening the straps holding the deflector that could fix the problem if thats what you're dealing with,
