How can I get the moonroof back on track?

When the roof was closing, there was a noise coming from the drivers side. I stopped its progress so I could check the tracks when I got home. I opened it fully to examine them and now it is stuck open. When I press the open/close button there is a clicking sound coming from the housing where the button is but the roof itself does not budge. I checked the fuse. Others have suggested disconnecting the battery. Have not tried that yet.

SOURCE: Sun Roof won't open

There may be a way to open the sunroof manually by turning the motor with a tool. The motor could be broken and "free spinning" or it could be off track or something is stuck in the track. You just need to take it apart starting with the interior trim the rest should be pretty self explanitory. You may also be able to find a diagram on www.autozone.com.

SOURCE: 1998 Camry. moon roof opened

I had the same problem on my '96. After exhausting all avenues, forums, DYI pages, etc., I learned the motor had to be disconnected, then the moon roof clossed manually. It is not airtight, but it doesn't leak. I plan to replace the motor in the spring. Wish me luck.

2005 Lincoln Aviator Moon Roof is stuck

Check the connections to the motor for the moon roof. It's most likely that the motor has gone out, and will need to be replaced.

In order to find out what's causing the problem, the headliner must be dropped (removed) to access the sunroof motor so it can be inspected and removed to inspect the slide cables up inside the sunroof/moonroof assy. Until that's done, there's not much more I can do to help except speculate.

2003 Corolla moonroof won't close

Check fuses and wiring. If all is good, I suggest carrying around towels and plastic wrap... Just kidding. If nothing works, take it to O'Reilly and have the computer checked. It could just be a burned motor, which is an entirely different story.

Leaking moonroof onto passenger floor

There are gasket replacement kits at local auto parts stores. It's time consuming but well worth it. Prior to starting, inspect the tracks with the moonroof open. There's a chance you have a burr or some other kind of obstruction in the track preventing the roof from properly closing/sealing. A 3 year old vehicle really shouldn't leak from a worn gasket but if the gasket were defective it's possible.

97 Grand Prix sunroof off track

My 97 Grand Prix sunroof tracks are offset. My driver side track is in the closed position, and the passenger side track is in a half open position. When the problem happened I was closing the roof and heard a hard clicking. It stopped working from that moment on. The tracks werent offset as much as they are now before I took the glass off. When I removed the glass, the passenger side track sprung back about 6 inches. The motor works, but the tracks only move about a half inch forward and backwards. Its cable operated and my guess is that one side jumped the track or a gear or something. Anybody help?
