Thread: Tip: Sunroof issue fix 04+

I've been having trouble with my sunroof for quite some time now. My issue was that it seemed to be getting stuck after going a short distance on the tracks. I went to the parts store inside my local "pontiac" dealer and the parts guy said its probably a $250 or so sensor that says when its open all the way.

Tonight I bought some small magnets (stong little round ones) for my license plate (that's a whole other story) and I was waiting to meet someone so I started to play with the magnets. I ran it over the dome light housing just to the top right of the crack separating the two lights (you should be able to feel the magnets pull a little bit). If it doesn't work right away, keep trying. It worked great for me.

were you holding the button to move the sunroof open while moving the magnets around?

Brotip: use magnets

I was just moving the magnet around until I found that spot. I didn't hit it right away becasue my problem only got slightly better at first. I then opened it while using the magnets and it opened completely in the first try. I removed the magnet and it functions now as it did when I bought the car.

Hey did your sunroof start doing this after you noticed some water leaking from there. That is what happened to me ... I guess it couldn't hurt to play with some magnets though thanks for the info.
