Default 2016 Lexus Is 200t moonroof wont open

I'm having issues the moonroof drops down but then gets hung up on the drivers side and wont go any farther. Anyone else have this issue I cant find anything about it anywhere.

That's interesting. you may have to drop the headliner to see. a lot of work. something is binding obviously.

i wonder if this is a problem people will start posting about in 5 years time.

any issues with the moonroof before? any accidents or other damage? anyone work on it?

Check out the flaps on the interior.. see if they are binding. take a pic of both sides on the inside of the car (or outside if that's where your access is) and post it. Maybe a piece of plastic got jammed.


happened to one guy on the CT forums. only one i saw though. he just removed the flap and the sunroof started working again. the motor on these things on most cars tend to reverse course if a certain resistance (binding) is detected within the motor circuit
