Sun roof on '03 Olds Alero will open completly but

Could be something sticking although it is odd that it shuts when cold but sticks when Hot. Normally when something heats up like that it shuts down not the other way around. Check for some miss placed glue or something that might loosen up when heated but get sticky when cold.

Volvo 2003 s60 sun roof do not open, fuse ok.

check your fuse in position 38 in the fuse box....this fuse is for the car's alarm system but also seems to work the sunroof, I have a problem with this fuse when its not blown the sunroof opens with no problems but when it blows the roof will not open I am not sure how they are tied in together but they are....so I would say that you have an electrical issue....do not replace the motor until you check this first

Chrysler concorde sun roof stuck open!!

Check the fuses to start with. If they are fine it could be a broken switch or a burnt electrical motor. If the closing mechanism has broken and bound up it could keep the window from closing. With the car in accessory mode or ON -whichever allows the windows to open - hit the close switch and listen closely. if a click of the motor can be heard it is a mechanical issue - if not it is electrical.

Sunroof

You will need to access the wiring to the sun roof and check for shorted/damaged wiring that might be rubbing on sheet metal and causing a short circuit, if you find nothing then the sun roof motor may be the culprit.
