Default 04 Sunroof Issues

I think I pushed both tilt and retract buttons and the roof stayed tilted(up til 2 am at Ironwood Days little foggy in the am). Drove around for a few hours pushing here and there then pushed like 20 times and she came down and I left it down as I had a 200 plus mile drive through weather.

There was a subtle 2 click almost stripped/missing sound you could hardly hear while it malfunctioned every time I hit it.

So roof is sealed, rain off and on next couple days wondering if anyone has had this experience? Is there a motor which goes, and how touchy is the fix? The sound is right under the square bezel for the cabin lites and roof controls, looks like there is 2 covers over the rear of the sunglass holder possibly where screws are.

I will address this when I get a few solid days of sun.

Also I found 89 midgrade no ethanol and got 27.2 at 75-95 speeds. I really will not cheap out for ethanol 87 octane gas so ethanol free premium is 95 percent of the time. Not sure on this one my old 04 was .3-.4 mpg high compared to the pump.
