You can get it to close but you need to remove the cover on the rear of the sunroof. were the motor is on the motor there is depending on motor fitted a flat head on a motor fitting or an allen key fitting that turns the motor. this is usually used for opening the window to do a repair but you can use it to close the roof window it will take a good few turns. to move the window turn it and see what way its moving as one way opens and other way closes.

2008 cts sunroof wind noise

Hi Gary,

Apparently there has been some 'alignment' issues with the sunroofs coming out of Cadillac. As noted in the attached thread, the dealer can perform an adjustment which eliminates (reduces) the windnoise.

How do I fix the sunroof that wont close

Sounds like the timing is out. Pull the headliner down enough so that you can get to the motor. Close the sunroof and allow it to stop where it wants to. Then remove the bolts holding the motor on, pull the motor out of the way of the gears and push the sunroof closed. Then remount the motor. It should work correctly after that.

Sunroof wont close

If you did not fry the switch or the drive, there is a good chance you can get the thing closed again by using bicycle chain oil on the glides. my experience has been the glides get really dirty and the sunroof is sluggish and can quit because the glides seize up. Might be all you need. Next would be replacing the switch, then of course the drive. much more complicated. fixed 2 sunroofs with bicycle oil.

How do you fix a stuck Defrost/Mode blend door on 2008 Ford Taurus? I've replaced the blend door actuator twice!

If it is physically stuck you will need to remove the entire dash to access it and fix where it is binding up. Ford gives book time of 6 hours to do it. My best time is 2.5 hours. It's a pretty usual thing for the Taurus.

My sunroof closes all the way except for about 2inches at the end. any help?

There are springs/clips on both sides where the sunroof closes, if they are worn out/damaged/loose then it will not close properly/all the way. Inspect them while someone opens and closes your sunroof to identify the problem
