Sunroof barely works (help!)

Since today was very warm, I opened my sunroof. It opened very slowly but worked. I closed it and it was closing very slowly so I just went out and opened it to see if there were any obstructions in the tracks. It was all clean, no pine needles or dirt. I sprayed some lubricant and I went to shut it and it barely shut. I opened it once more to see if once the lubricant gets spread around it will work better. I go to close it and it closes slower and slower as it gets there. It stopped 3/4 of the way and rebounded and opened. I pressed the close button and pulled it along since it won't do it on its own and it was drizzling. It's almost like it has no power and now it's broken...ugh what a nice spring welcoming.

Sounds like your motor might be going out

I have been having lots of small unexplained electrical problem lately with the car.

Maybe some short somewhere? or corrosion ?

A similar thing happened with my gtp. Get some good grease and put it on the tracks with a brush on both sides, front and back. Then run it back and forth. It really should fix the problem
