Panoramic roof will not close
Roof will not close, one side open. I tried the manual crank will close but back will not come down. Trying to take headliner down I cant get it, what's the trick to that. Any and all help appreciated.

Have you tried reset by opening all the way while holding the switch for 10 sec. after its open, then closing , holding switch for 10 sec.

Oh. now that sounds like a major problem that a very knowledgeable technician will need to repair.

The way these work is a gear located in the middle of two spiral cords (metal) the gear has to move both for both sides to move. I searched and found this write up from eurocharged. Your motor has probably lost connection or gear on the one side. To close it temporarily you could press very hard against the light upwards and press the button back and forth.

I also wrote a small blog about what I did to fix mine on a budget with the help from the Eurocharged write up but used parts from a 1998 to fix mine.

I didn't have a cord issue, if the cord breaks or is bent you may have to replace them and that might be a bit more complicated.
Hope this helps
