my sunroof was acting up too. i opened the roof fully, sprayed wd40 along the inside rails, cleaned them out with q-tips, then sprayed them again. i picked out a lot dust/dirt/crud with the q-tips. this might be your problem also. mine is working fine now.

Hey I too have had problems with my sunroof. I'm told it's a plastic gear. Called a worm gear. and they go after a while. So for now I'll wait to after Winter to fool with it. Let me know if you have any luck with yours. . Madjeep@Yahoo.com
