Sunroof stuck open in tilted position

I had this happen today on my 2006. Opened fine but stopped in tilted position. Checked rails, fuses etc. Pulled the overhead switch down. Jiggled the connection and started working again. Went ahead and unplugged it then plugged it back in. Works fine now. If it happens again it will be the first thing i check.

Thank you for posting about your experience.
We recently replaced the switch, but that didn’t work.
We now are waiting for an appointment with a guy who repairs sunroofs.
Hopefully, he’ll be able to fix it and then I’ll tell you what he said/did.
Thanks, again!

Dear sir,

I don't understand exactly what the problem is;

Express open/close is not working
sunroof inoperative
sunroof does not open
sunroof express vent open/close feature inoperative
sunroof does not close from vent position
sunroof does not close

One not so obvious thing to check is the switch illumination, does it light up? Will the sunroof operate if the lights are turned off?
Is there any foreign material on the track?
Is the sunshade and window adjusted properly?
Are the side opening closeout covers installed properly?
Does the dome lamp work?
Does the panel spotlight work?
Do the lights on the mirror work?


Pardon me if you have done all of this.
Step 1 is did you look for foreign objects. Step 10 is see if it works now.

Has there been a solution to this?

This is exactly whats going on with my sunroof. It's stuck tilted open and no sounds or movement when toggled to close. Just a motor clicking sound when toggled to open.

Bought a new switch and it still did not fix the issue.

When that happened to mine it was discovered that the tilting mechanism had broken.
I dropped the headliner and replaced the complete sunroof with one removed from a 'donor'
Not fun to do but I have a functioning sunroof

Buttons worked fine.
They just didn't do anything.
Just got clicks and noises, no movement
