If it is electric the motor is bad. See who the manufacture is (may be webcast). The have warranties on those, and my 05 equinox was under warranty and I had replaced for free. The model and serial number is on the top track. U might have to stand up top and look down. Contact manufacturer and go from there.

SOURCE: sunroof stuck

First off, you should leave it closed. At least you can drive it that way. The grinding could be the motor itself, or a gear inside that has rounded or broken teeth. Another possibility is that it has slipped out of a channel or track. Unless you're pretty handy this sounds like a professional repair job.

SOURCE: 99 malibu sunroof stuck open.

The motor is in the front area of the roof unit.If you can drop the switch and trim around the front of sunroof unit and headliner ,you can can access the sunroof drive motor.The drive shaft of the motor can be turned mannually with an allen wrench which will assist in closing and identifying the problem area.If its hung very badly ...remove the sunroof motor then push the roof closed.

SOURCE: MY SUNROOF IS STUCK OPEN IN MY 05 DODGE MAGNUM

Hello. Begin by checking the fuse that controls the sunroof, just look in your owner manual under fuses and you will find a diagram and location for where to look. If the fuse is bad, replace it with a new one of the exact same amperage. Also, use a can of pressurized air [like a computer duster] and clean the rocker switch that controls your sunroof, try to blow air behind it on both sides. Finally just rock that switch back and forth rapidly several times which may break the motor free so it will work again. Regards, Joe
PS please rate my answer. Thank you.

SOURCE: sunroof stuck open

check the fuse. then check the switch with an ohm meter see if it has resistance when you press the switch up or down. check for power to the switch and motor with a test light, possible tap on the sunroof motor to unfreeze it.

My 05 honda accord sun roof wont open

Hi,

The sunroof on your Honda may not be operating correctly. The most common problems with Honda's sunroofs is the track. This is especially true of early 1990s Honda vehicles. However, many Hondas use a recessed track that easily collects and traps dirt and debris. When this happens, your sunroof may not close and seal properly. Another minor problem is a blown fuse on some model years of Honda vehicles. Before fixing anything, however, troubleshoot the problem.
  1. Open the fuse panel. Turn the knob on the fuse panel cover counterclockwise or push in on the release tabs on the fuse panel cover (depending on the year of your Honda), and pull down on the fuse panel cover.
  2. Pull the fuse for the sunroof out of the fuse panel using the fuse pullers in the fuse panel. Use the diagram on the underside of the fuse panel cover if you are having trouble locating the fuse for the sunroof.
  3. Check the metal strip in the middle of the fuse. The strip should not be burned or damaged. If it is, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage.
  4. Check the recessed track of your sunroof. Clear away any debris that may be stuck in the sunroof's track. Use engine degreaser and a wire brush to clean the track of dirt. Then, wipe the track down with clean paper towels.
  5. Apply hard grease to the sunroof wheels and track so that the sunroof can move easily once again.
Best regards.

My 1999 Malibu sunroof works when the weather is fairly warm but during cooler temps. the sunroof will partially open and not close.

Its probably sticking on the rubber seals, when warm the rubber is pliable, when cold it stiffens up, try cleaning the rubber seal with alcohol, when cleaned put some armor-all on a rag and wipe the seal down with it, also some silicone spray helps...
