If you have ever messed around with your sunroof i.e. replaced the clips and the sunroof stops half or 75% of the way, I have finally (with the help from by brother-in-law who works at a dealership in MD) figured out how to properly initialize it. Everywhere you look they tell you to hold the button in for 20 seconds and then that***8217;s it. If you have an 01~02, this as you know does not work. It might work for a bit, but it will eventually stop again later down the road. I***8217;ve just been dealing with it, pretty annoying:banghead: . So here is how you do it:
1. Turn your ignition to on but do not start the engine, AC position
2. Hit the button and hold it in retract position, the sunroof will go back now, once its there keep holding the button back for about 20-30 seconds.
3. Next push the button forward while holding it the whole way, the sunroof will go forward, once its there keep holding it forward until the sunroof goes up to the vent position.
4. Now depress the button to lift the sunroof (I know its already up,) hold for approximately 20~30 seconds until it goes up one more level.
So in essence what you are doing is training the motor in all three positions. Another note.. Lubing up the rails is also a good idea, however this alone will probably not fix the anti trapping (it has surprisingly enough has for some on here:hmm: ). Give it a shot and see if it works.
