When I slide my sunroof closed, it stops half way, then I have to release the button and press it again to close it completely..is this normal?

 

i thought it was a glitch on my 92 also till i got my 97 and it still happens...
kidna weird.. but on the 97 if its closed and i hold the button back for 2-3 sec then it opens all the way automatically, but it didnt do it on my 92..i dont believe..

 

yup. Although, I upgraded my motor to a newer SC and it works flawlessly.

 

congrats, your car is working correctly.

 

nevermind...

 

Stops on mine halfway also, not really a problem, as to the fact that i dont open my sunroof that often.

 

It's a preset. This way if too much air is getting in i.e. you go to the highway yet you still want the sunroof open, you can keep it at halfway. I find it pretty convenient.

 

Perfectly normal. 2000 SC400

 

I never liked this feature too much

 

It's also stops there for safety reasons.

 

But what if I want to close the sunroof with my head in it?

 

Yup, exactly what Lexus intended

 

my celica did this also....i thought it was odd til i got the sc and realized it's a toyota thing....

 

Yup! this is the way it was meant to be on the SC. Is the same way on my 99. However on the GS and LX470 it will close all the way with just one touch of the button.

 

Ive seen that on other cars to and i was told that it is for smoking, it will help vent the smoke out without it being windy in the car, which i notice does work
