Sunroof HELP
Hi yall, so this friday I used my sunroof while cruising around at night. When i tried to close it, it would not close all the way. It moves forward and back with no problem, BUT when it gets to the end where it is supposed to tilt up a little to seal, it just stops....
I took off the plastic trim around the glass to try and see if anything is binding but i cannot see anything. Any ideas/suggestions where I should look at exactly
Its a 2004 EX Coupe

Re: Sunroof HELP
does the tilt button do anything?
have you tried the emergency crank?
maybe you have a good sized bug jammed in there

I got it to work now, thanks Colin42 for the suggestions.
So yesterday when I got in my car to go home from work, I tried the switch and it worked! I tried opening it and closing it and all seemed good. When I got home I tried it again but this time it would not shut all the way just like before.
This time i took a closer look from the top with the window open and I noticed a small part of the rail broken and also a broken bump stop (at least I think thats what it is). So I removed the stop and the window closes and opens fine. I will try to look for a replacement at a junkyard because I could not find a part number for it on majestic's website.
I think what happened is there might have been some crud on the rail and the sunroof was forced shut breaking the part of the rail and the stop in the process. I will be greasing it up because the old grease is caked and black.
