Sunroof Problems??
Maybe I'm just retarded or there is a problem with my sunroof. When I'm driving down the highway or parked and the sunroof is fully open, I click it forward to close it and it starts going forward and when it gets about 2 inches from closing it shoots backward and stops in the middle. I click the switch forward and the same thing happens. It takes like 4 or 5 times of me randomly clicking the button different ways to get it to close. Has anyone had this problem before??

Synchronize the sunroof by raising the sunroof completely and holding raise button one second. Check the express-open feature. If the sunroof opens completely, it is synchronized if not, repeat. If this does not work, return to the dealer and request they clean and lubricate the guide mechanism under warranty.
What is the "express-open feature"??

You know what, I did that by accident last night and it closed it. I guess that I'll have to keep doing that to get it to close. It pisses me off like no other though.

The window must be synchronized if it cannot be fully opened (Express-open) or closed (Express-close). Close all doors; switch on the ignition; pull the corresponding switch until the window is completely closed; hold switch for approximately one second. If the problem keeps recurring, the window mechanism needs to be cleaned and lubricated.
