Sunroof Problem...
So I have this weird problem about my sunroof. It won't close if I press it two clicks (auto close), it will move to the closed position, but then it will back up about 3 inches, like if something was in the way.
I tried doing the re-sync, but that didn't fix it.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Happened to me. Have you tried cleaning the tracks?
Take a soft cloth, old t-shirt etc..., and wipe the tracks clean and try again.
I've read that ideally you want to clean and re-lube them but I only cleaned mine and it works fine.
(I feel like I just wrote this exact thing somewhere else )

Cleaned and lubed today. No luck.. Guess I'll have to go to a dealer and get the "Pinch Protection" Re-calibrated.. Sigh does anyone know how much this will run me?

I thought the owners manual had a re learn procedure that basically required open fully then close and hold the button in closed positon for 3 seconds. Check the manual before you pay for even 1 hr dealer time.

Yeah I tried doing the re-sync but it didn't fix it. The dealer can reset the "pinch protection" or something like that with the star diagnostic system, and I think I'm gonna have to go get that done. Unless there's another way to fix this..
