Inoperable sunroofs are usually caused by a dead motor, broken fuse, or faulty switch. These issues could be due to general wear and tear or from dirt or debris getting stuck in the gears. The good news is a trained auto repair technician can fix these electrical issues.
The Most Common Reasons. When a sunroof does not close after opening, the cause is the battery, a bad fuse, a bad motor, or a problem with the track. See what to do below with a motor that is working but struggling. The battery sometimes causes a problem after replacing a dead battery.
A sunroof is a glass or metal panel that`s installed in the roof of a car, truck, or SUV that slides open or pops up to allow light and air into the interior cabin. A moonroof is typically a clear or tinted glass panel that slides between the roof and the headliner and is often tilted open to let in the fresh air.
In most cases, these parts are easy to clean. Wipe them down with a soft cloth and re-lubricate them with lithium grease spray. It doesn`t take long, and it certainly won`t drain your bank account, but a little routine lubrication could improve the long-term health of your sunroof.
The switch can be diagnosed as faulty simply by testing for continuity across the switch when the switch is cycled through all of its possible settings. If pressing the switch does not create a continuous circuit,the switch will be proven failed.

Open the sunroof to the vent position, release the button, and then push it in again for 5 – 10 seconds. The sunroof all of suddenly moved and recalibrated itself to the correct position.
You can even do this on the move by sticking to the sunroof`s tilt function where it doesn`t open all the way but lets the air circulate. At low to medium speeds, opening the sunroof can give you something close to the experience of a convertible car without the expense associated with one.
A sunroof creates a sense of open space in your car and makes the car feel more spacious and roomy. It is one of the luxurious and premium features that make for a better user experience.
Disadvantages of a Sunroof
Less fuel efficiency because sunroof increases the overall weight of your vehicle. Reduced headroom. More prone to leakage. More susceptible to car break-ins.
External Damage
As rainwater fills the car continually through the open sunroof, it can cause a “flood” within the cabinet. Most parts of the car close to the ground will be damaged, such as the accelerator, brake, and clutch.
Sunroofs are particularly susceptible to leakage because most are actually meant to leak by design. In order for the glass to sit flush against the roof, there is usually no exterior gasket to block water from dripping down along the outside edges of the sunroof.

Sun roof does not close flush with the roof. The sunroof suddenly stopped tilting up to line up with roof.
ANSWER : The glass may be adjustable on the track, there may be a calibration routine in the Factory Service Manual, and there may be lubrication possibilities which could restore range of motion. Those are the simple fixes. If none work, that means that there is a mechanical issue with the track, alignment, gearing, and/or the motor. Those issues require disassembly and inspection per the Factory Service Manual. It is fixable though and so I encourage you to request a moving glass panel diagnostic. If you request that service the responding certified mechanic will get this taken care of for you.

Where is the instrument panel to find the trip reset button to press and hold in order to reset the trip mileage?
ANSWER : Hi there. When resetting the trip mileage on your vehicle, look at the steering wheel and just behind it is the instrument panel (the part that has all of the gauges). Look on the instrument panel for a black small pin or rod that is sticking out of the plastic clear cover. It is either on the left bottom or right bottom of the instrument panel. Push the pin or rod in like a button and it will toggle through the trip A and trip B. Then hold down the pin or rod and the trip meter will reset to zero. If you need further help with your vehicle, then seek out a professional, such as one from YourMechanic, to assist you with the trip meter.
