1st quirk

The other day I was closing close my sunroof and it didn't close. Basically it closed about 3/4 of the way then reversed direction. I had to keep my finger on the button for it to close fully. Since then it has happened about 4 times either at 1/4 to 3/4 closed before it reversed.

WTF?

My 04 did that sometimes. The windows would do the same thing. Can't remember what it was...I think they can fix it though.

Re-sync the sunroof. It's covered in your owner's manual. Cost, aside from your time to learn, is FREE!

Mine does that from time to time too. Its really not a big deal. I just had the dealership take a quick look at it. Took em 10 minutes to fix it. All they did was clean and lube up the sunroof tracks. Sometimes sand or other debris in the tracks can fool the sunroof into thinking there is an object blocking it and for safety it will return to open.

Your windows do the same thing. Stick your hand in one when closing. Betcha is won't pinch you.

mine does that all the freakin time its so annoying! if it doesn't autoclose you can either hold the close button until its closed or take it to the stealership and have them replace the control module for the sunroof button. i had mine replaced and reprogrammed twice and now it's going to need it a third time since it started doing it again.

Hey bud!

You had to get your control module replaced? They just lubbed up the tracks on mine.

Resync should normally work, but if the problem persists, always good to have it looked at under warranty.

I resync the windows everytime I get home. Doesn't take long to resync, so just to prevent this from happening, I made it a habit.

I had a similar problem where resync didn't do anything, dealer replaced something and haven't had a problem since. Only time the windows are ultra-sensitive like that are when the wind is putting enough resistance to make the window kick into "child proof" mode.
