sunroof problems

sunroof is stuck in the tilt open position... Found 2 loose screws from the sunroof motor after partially pulling down headliner. Re-inserted screws but the sunroof still won't close. Motor is working, but the sunroof only moves an inch. Any solutions?

Your motor could be dead or it could be one of the connection. When you push a button do you hear the motor working?

The dealers didn't want to fix it. It's not under warranty?

Not after 60k miles... They wanted $125 just to look at it. I figured I'd play with it and see if I could fix it myself.

Is this a common problem then, that these screws come loose? Might be good to get some pics to show folks which ones so we can do some preemptive maintenance.

Search it, i dont have time find the thread right now but you can reset it by holding the button down and opening and closing it. Mine did the same thing and i pushed it down while pushing the button to get it closed. After that I had to reset it, i bumped the thread last month.
