This past winter ice built up on roof of the car and a accidentally hitting the sunroof button resulted in the sunroof no longer stopping where it should for closed or open or venting.
Today I spent some time attempting to get the sunroof re-synchronized. As those who have worked on the sunroof motor before know, there is a wheel with a section missing such that as the wheel spins it hold a limit switch closed and when it hits the missing section the limit switch opens and the motor stops.
So I put the roof where it should be closed, pulled the motor, ran it until it stopped and reinstalled the motor. That allows me now to open the sunroof all the way and it stops. Close the sunrooof all the way and it stops.
But what doesn't work is the vent position. If I run it up for the Vent the motor doesn't stop and grinds gears until I let go of the button. And then it is out of sync for the closed position again.
Anyone have tips on how to make it work or ideas on what I am doing wrong?
