This is a re-post from what I told someone else:

I took mine in expecting to have it repaired and it turns out that it was just the screws along the left and right-hand side of the panel. They were loose. The guy told me that "it eventually happens" and that "it's only a matter of time". He went on to say that "it shouldn't happen again". So, check the screws on either side of the panel right where it's stopping. I suspect that this is prohibiting yours from closing as well.

HTH!

    Problem is really the cast zinc "locks" on the sides of the sunroof rails. The screws loosen and allow these locks to pivot and then block the sunroof from completely closing. To fix this and prevent the re-occurrence: 1. With the sunroof completely open. 2. Remove the screws clean the first 4 threads completely clean with alcohol 3. Put some nail polish (or red thread locker if you have it) on those now clean threads. 4. Position the locks in place, insert and tighten the screws. If it is a crisis just push the locks to their correct position and thread the screws as far as you can with whatever you have, fingers will usually get them in far enough to allow the window to close.

I have a 2018 Nissan Murano sunroof, not closing all the way and re-opening on its own

To reset the moonroof, flip the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Then, press and hold your moonroof's button towards the full-tilt position. Repeat that step a second time once the moonroof is tilted upwards. After getting the moonroof to tilt upwards a second time, hold the button for an additional four seconds.

My Moonroof Won't Close or Open - What to Do

My 2004 tiburon moonroof is stuck doesn't open or close i can hear the motor going but the moonroof just doesn't move at all, first it was closing all the way down but was making a funny noise as...

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.

What to know if sunroof only slides open or if it will pop up to open like preludes

On EX and EX-V6 models:
The moonroof has two positions: it can be tilted up in the back for ventilation, or it can be slid back into the roof. Use the switch under the left dashboard vent to operate the moonroof. The ignition switch must be ON (II).
To tilt up the back of the moonroof, press and hold the center button. To close the moonroof, press and hold the top of the switch To open (slide back) the moonroof, press and hold the bottom of the switch. Release the switch when the moonroof gets to the desired position. Make sure everyone's hands are away from the moonroof before opening or closing it.
The moonroof has a key-off delay. You can still open and close the moonroof for up to ten minutes after you turn off the ignition. The key-off delay cancels as soon as you open either door. You must then turn the ignition ON (II) for the moonroof to operate.
Hope this helps.

Shade for 93 honda wont close. window works fine. but shade is stuck

I don't know if this will work, but you can try it. If you use the manual method for closing the moonroof, or opening it, it MIGHT take the shade along with it. The following is the procedure, which you may already know.
The moonroof can be closed manually, if the control switch will not close it.
1. Remove the round plug near the rear center of the headliner.
2. Insert the moonroof wrench (from the tool kit, should be in the trunk) into the socket.
3.Turn the wrench until the moonroof seats in the closed position.
4. Replace the plug.
As I say, this MIGHT work. Hope it helps.
