[s-cars] PSA Sunroof not closing

[Varon H. Fugman]

Mark,

Thanks for the info.  Mine reverses most of the time when closing.  I
suspect a dirty track or lack of lube.  I'm guessing it senses the force
required to close and above a certain force reverses on the theory that
somebody's fingers may be in the way.

When closing the sunroof from outside the car with the key in the door lock
it never reverses, so I'm assuming the relay closing the sunroof in this
case bypasses the reversing circuitry.

Gents & Paulie,

I've read here and elsewhere of folks who have experienced their sunroofs
mysteriously reversing course when they should be closing.? Some have blamed
it on a weak battery (something I never believed) or a demon dwelling in
their car (that I can believe - their car not mine).? Well my sunroof would
reverse course about 1/3 of the time.? Today I decided to clean the track,
although it looked great already.? I lightly sprayed it with Elmer's dry
lube and wiped it off.? I did this several times.? Like magic it closed
flawlessly.? I test closed it many times tonight.? I tried to disrupt the
electronics by having the sunroof open and forcing the sounds of Dazed and
Confused by Led Zeppelin being played loudly through the opening. The
sunroof still closed flawlessly.? I can only conclude IT IS CURED.? I relate
this to those of you who can use this information.
