Sun Roof Acting up

[cruzanrs6]

So I posted earlier about the rattle - have not resolved this yet. The other issue is that apparently the glass panel has gotten off track on the sliding mechanism. I was able to correct this, however, now when turning the switch to full close the panel slides forward but just before actual final close it retracts back again - as though maybe a limit switch or the switch itself is acting up. I am able to close the roof via the key fob and very gingerly pressing the lock button until the glass slides into "almost" full closed position. Ideas ??

TIA -

I am having similar issues along with rattle. Did you resolve this?

Our windows and sunroof have pinch protection. So when the draw on the motor reaches a threshold limit, it reverses. Did you clean the tracks? It doesn't take much friction to cause it to reverse.

As for the rattle, it is most likely one of the 4 guides that the sunroof cover slides on. Not fun to fix if it's the rears.

Thanks will look into it

I did clean the tracks and this alleviated the "reversing" of the roof. There was much debris in the tracks. As for the rattle of the metal deflector piece, I need to replace the 2 clips one for each side that attaches/secures the deflector to its attachment points that then slide along the track system , The p/n is 8T8-877-695 (need 2 ea) they are like $50 ea.

My sunroof cover is now freely sliding all the way into the rear now...may have unclipped the retainer
