Sunroof problems

All right. Total and complete wierdness. Sunroof won't close all the way anymore. It gets to about... 3 inches from closed and then backs off. It's just like it got caught on something and backs up, saftey feature, I suppose. It used to get to that point and back off every now and then, but now it won't close at all.
I checked the tracks to see if anything was blockin it, but no dice. :banghead:
Fortunately I live in Southern California, where it rains all of two times a year, but I'd still like to get it to close, for security's sake.
Anybody else have problems similar to this?
(I have a 95 GS btw)

I had the same problem on my 96 GST. All i did to correct the problem was remove the sunroof glass (just a few screws on each side) and then blow the track out with compressed air. If you dont have an air compressor you can use the compressed air in a can stuff. Then I lubed it all up good and it worked perfectly after that. Hope it works for you

i've had this problem and what was happening was it was sticking on the slides so i just lubed up the slides with some graphite and it's as good as new.

My sunroof sticks too. Except now that it opens, it just doesn't close. At all. So I closed it manually and left it that way :D.
Seems like I should probably try and fix the problem at some point though....

Mine had similar problems too, but then I found that my sunroof sliding cover was off its tracks and was getting stuck right before the sunroof would close. So I reseat the sliding cover, and now its all good.
