What will cause a sunroof not to close properly on a 2007 Milan

it sound like there is a problem with the cables _ they either streched or catching on something or just could be worn out also

i would say pcm.these. are notorious for getting spiked from ignition sys.have ya had any perfomance problems in the past?

You have to remove the overhead control unit (front dome lamp assembly) to gain access to the sunroof motor(link below) You can then put an allen wrench/socket into the drive motor for the sunroof and turn to close. This works if the sunroof motor has failed. If the problem is the switch, you might get lucky by pointing the key at the IR pickup on the driver's door handle and holding the lock button. That should close all of the windows and the sunroof. Mercedes 211 overhead mirror removal

I would say something with the remote system.can you unlock the doors and roll windows down with the remote?

There's a TSB published by ford for this condition. It's caused by a binding shifter button.

no there is not a recall on your milan, only on the monterey for after market fuel filters. The fact of the matter is they just don't build them like they used to. So Its probably your alternator thats the number one probable cause.. hope this helps and god bless.

you may need to top up the coolant,r112,r140or what ever the car is useing. if the car can'nt be topped up then you have a leak that needs to be fixed,usually the drier.

does the sunshade open and close properly,you should only be able to move this when the sunroof is closed it should move freely back and forth,if it doesn't this part is causing the noise, its off its track

i've seen this problem before,what i've found is a bracket that holds the sunroof frame is not positioned properly ,i've found the rear most brackets causing this,generally it's the drivers side but passnger side should be looked at also,best way to repair is to remove headliner to get a ood view of the whole frame,good luck
