I have a 2003 z71 Tahoe with a sunroof that is stuck in the fully open position. On the way to work one morning (temp outside in the 20s, frosty glaze on vehicle) I went to hit the map light and accidentally hit the open sunroof button. I think there was ice glazed over the sunroof and/or mechanical parts because when i hit the button nothing happened at first but i heard it try to open. I hit close then tried to open it to the vent position, still wouldnt open up, i pushed up lightly on the glass thinking there might have been a thin ice coating keeping it from opening but still nothing. eventually it opened up, sounded fine no unusual sounds, but when i went to close it, it wouldnt close. it's getting power because it will move a few millimeters but then will move itself back to the fully open position. I checked and it doesn't look like anything is in the track preventing it from closing. The switch is still giving power to the sunroof so it's not a fuse or anything. The dealer told me I will probably have to replace the whole assembly. Has anyone heard of this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix it? How difficult is it to take the headliner down to be able to get in there to see anything? Any suggestions please call me on my cell at 704.608.9701 or email me at [email protected]
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Mine did the same thing. I disconnected the ground cable to the battery for a few seconds and then reconnected it and the sunroof started working again.
