1988 90Q sunroof issue

[Mark J. Besso]

The sunroof on my 91 90Q did something similar.  It required me pulling 
the cover off the switch panel and manually putting the sunroof to the 
neutral position between tilt & retract.  Once that was done, it would 
somehow remember that position and stop as expected between the two 
functions.

As far as it not closing all the way, is it hanging up on the factory 
wind deflector arms?  The roof panel is supposed to glide over them and 
that retracts the deflector.  If it hits them rather than glide over 
them it will fail to close all the way.
