Unhappy 04 CLK sunroof won't close properly

Whenever I try to close the sunroof (not tilted) using the one touch button the sunroof closes all the way but once it reaches the front part of the sunroof it retracts about 5". In order to close it properly I have to hold the button forward.

I've already tried resetting it by holding the button up but that didn't seem to help. Anyone have any suggestions?

It's a known problem with the CLK. Have it checked and repaired under warranty.

Hey just a heads up. I read from other forums that it is just dirt on the track that does it. I cleaned mine with a cotton ball and some wd40 and the problem went away.
