Sunroof opener

Anybody have a hard time opening their sunroof?

In my wife's car, you hit the buttons and usually it doesn't do anything until the 3rd to 5th time, then it finally will tilt and then open. It's very annoying.

I seem to recall seeing some posts about this problem a while back. You might try searching.

Here's one person who had a similar problem:

maybe you are too tall and your head is blocking it from closing :p

like they said, check the connections but also look for debris blocking the track...

is anything else acting electrically odd? you may have a fuse loose, check fuse box

keep us updated

sounds like the molding may be out of place, if you have a friends 8 to look at or a dealer's 8 look at it carefully and compare, good luck
