Sun Roof won't open

Yep well here is my first problem with my 06 SS, my friggin sun roof will not open, seems like the motor just isn't strong enough. It worked fine the other day but no more. It starts to move then stops and the weather is finally nice here to open the damn thing, go figure.

Every now and then when I press the button a little to vent it, nothing happens. It will always open all the way though, but for some reason hates to vent. Go figure.

dont push the button all the way in and it will vent. If you keep pushing the button though over and over it will just open or close and wont vent for some reason so decide what your gonna do first. If your driving it seems that it doesn't like to vent so decide before you ride

Yea mine is the same way. Most of the time the sunroof will vent just fine, but others it wont vent but open. And it seems really slow to open sometimes. The passenger side motor is slower than the drivers on mine as well.

Hahahahah i asked my dad the same thing and he said its fine, just because the Drivers window has that auto go down feature it is a little quicker, not really a big problem though lol just gotta wait the extra 1.5 seconds.

Yours wont open? Mine wont close! I was opening it one day and heard a loud snap, now the back drivers side corner wont go down all the way. I cant wash my car now and there's an annoying sound when i drive.

My 98 Saturn had the same sunroof module (although I hope they have done some updates since then). The frickin cable inside snapped (I discovered this when it wouldn't close and had to dismantle everything and force it closed). If you have to buy a new module it's like $1000. I assume all these opening/closing problems you are having should still be covered by warranty but you never know. Just wanted to let you know it's a bitch if it actually breaks.

Oh, and I haven't had any problems with my 06 ss/sc sunroof. Opens and closes no problem, driving or parked.

they are also able to leap over 100 feet in the air if a good gust of wind hits it just right. Thats how I lost my sun roof with my 3000gt

I think there's a tsb on the sunroof not operating, but it sounds like you guys aren't all having the same problem.

no i forgot to mention that i got my motor replaced already like literally within 2 months of buying it new and it hasn't failed since. The issue had to do with the angle that the window was installed in. Some windows were to low or high or left or right and back or forward and when the car went through its daily stop and go and turn it can screw up the track and burn up the motor over a short time. At least this is what the tech dude told me after they replaced my motor
