    Hey guys...as you all know the car has been sitting for awhile...well when I got her running the other day I wanted to make sure everything still worked. Windows, lights, etc. Everything was gravy until I tried to open up the sunroof. It went up on the first push of the button as normal and then the 2nd push where it is supposed to go all the way back...it doesn't. I have to retract it...and then hold the button...bring it back...then try to open it again...and after about 30 button presses it opened all the way. Does that sound like a short, is the motor toast in it or is there a solinoid that controls it that can be replaced?

    TIA.

    IMO, I would replace the switch first since it would probably be cheaper than some of the other options. I like the "throw parts at it" option for this one.

    Sounds like mech. resistence. I would check everything and lubricate all the sliding parts

    Nope, no popping. Just a click everytime it stops. IMO, it looked pretty well lubed to me but I'll double check it.
