Default moonroof doesn't close

anyone knows why my moonroof won't close completely. it can open and close, but when it closes it opens again another 5 inches then stops. it just started happening. anyone have any ideas.

Not exactly sure, but it sounds like something is going on with the sensor that detects anything in the way while it's closing. When that happens, it 'bounces back' open. Maybe something is blocking the sensor or causing drag on your moonroof when it closes such that it sets off the re-open.

i have heard stories about that happening on the window. when it closes, it will close all the way and then go back down couple of inches. ended up some of the relays were burnt. not sure if that's your case though

Do a search. This problem seems to come up every 3-4 months and the answers are always the same. I don't remember the solution or I'd tell you but I do know it's been discussed extensively.
