2001 Eclipse GT Non-Functioning Sunroof

Look in both places. Did you check the owners manual?

If it's cable driven the cable may be broken

Mine did the same thing...took me 8 years to figure it out without having to pay for a repair at a shop. When it lifts the centimeter on its own, push up on glass with your hand with moderate pressure till it frees up, then just push the button towards the rear of the car and it should open the sunroof completely! How i now have to open mine but its awesome after 8 years and Ill work with that...

Just as a possible solution just to close the roof, remove the motor and try an manually pull the roof closed, if it does'nt move it could possibly be the operating rack that pulls the foor back and forth, in which case it will require dismantling the roof assembly

Sounds like the sun roof motor has given up, remove it and apply 12 volts to the motor connector it should run. If not you can most likely just replace the motor. Your best bet is to try and find a used one as parts for this car are very expensive.

the drain tubes run down the A pillar along the windshield down into the bottom of the fenders, you can pull them off at the top of the sunroof and reinstall them back down the pillar. why are you replacing them??

Transmission fluid and filter, if an automatic. Fuel filter, air filter. Brakes. Hoses and belts.

let me know if you need any more help

Depending on the year of your vehicle....
Earlier models had a sunroof wrench. The manual states that ..."the electronic sunroof system cannot be operated manually. The sunroof wrench that was used in previous models is not provided".

Now that may mean that if you had the wrench it could be operated manually.

I did find something else here :
NOTE: If there is a problem with the sunroof motor so that the
roof lid glass cannot close fully, use an Allen wrench to turn the
gear section of the sunroof motor to fully close the roof lid
glass.

Access seems to be just above the sunroof switch.

check the iod fuses in the hood compartment there are 2 of them together in a yellow holder
