My sunroof is stuck open and will not close but you can hear the motor running. The sunroof would work perfect in Vent mode, but in the weeks prior to becoming stuck open, when sunroof/moonroof was open it would only close so far and then EXTREMELY slow until it closed and sealed. How can I close it, when I accessed the sunroof motor to use ratchet the gears were stripped.
Remove the overhead garage door and sunglass panel. The sunroof motor can be turned by a screwdriver if I remember correctly. But this may not help because you said you can hear the motor running.

Good luck.

If you remove any gear that is coupling it to the motor you should be able to slide it back to where you want. I would put gear back just to hold it in place and keep it from moving. But you do have to replace that gearbox for future operation.

If the motor is stuck, you can probably hold the switch to the forward position, and smack the roof. This may allow the motor to start working. I don't think there is any way to do it manually.

The sunroof motor is accessable from the trunk. A winder handle for emergency use was provided when the car was new but you can use another tool to do the job. Take off the rear bulkhead panel and the motor will be visable and you will see the shaft to turn the sunroof manually. Good luck!
