Sunroof Closing problem

[Wayneo]

My 2005 Camry is now having a problem when you close the sunroof it starts to close but as soon as it hits the wind deflector it changes direction and opens back up.

A little bit of help on how to adjust or lube etc. would be great.

[CharmCityES]

check the tracks and make sure something isnt stuck in there and blocking the roof from closing...
if not, the track might be bad,...theyre a pain to replace as well and are very expensive fixes, as ive replaced one at work for the same issue...

[Wayneo]

I will look at the tracks.

One thing that I forgot to mention is if you push down the wind deflector just a little bit the window will close just fine.

If it's like the Gen6, it might just need to re-initialized.

Use the Search function......

See Repair Tips section below.
1. Tap control switch to fully close moon roof.

or makes a click sound. After the glass assembly shudders or clicks, release
“TILT UP” button.

If glass does not shudder or click, then ECU memory was not erased. Repeat steps 1
through 5 until unit shudders or clicks.
6. Within 5 seconds of releasing “TILT UP” button (end of step 5 above), press and hold
“TILT UP” button again. Glass assembly will go through 1 cycle (glass will tilt down,

the sliding roof harness from the sliding roof motor and wait for 3 – 5 minutes.
NOTE:
The sliding roof system must be reset each time the battery is disconnected.
2. If the glass parks in an over-flush or under-flush position with the roof:
A. Move the glass to the flush position by quickly tapping the switch.
B. Reset the system according to Repair Tips 1, 2, and 3 above.

I read it was a Gen5.

That's why I wrote "If it's like the Gen6"...................

[CharmCityES]

i duno if its the same procedure as the gen 6, but thats what i did for my gen 5 and it worked fine fine for when my sunroof didnt sit level

[bobright]

To anybody:
Do you have or can describe a moonroof reset reset procedure that worked for you?. I have an '02 SE and the moonroof doesn't sit flush with the roof when closed. The dealer did it for me a year a go for a fee but won't tell me how to do it myself. I have the reset Tech Service Bulletin B021-03 but I can't figure out how to remove the dome light assembly so I can remove power to the moon roof ECU. I have tried pulling down the front, sides, rear all very hard but it won't drop down. There are no visible screws. Help please!

Are you not smart enough to read the procedure posted in post #5????

If not, take it to the dealer again.

[bobright]

Read it yourself. I have read post #5 and it is loaded with typo's and incorrect sequences and was a feeble attempt to copy the TSB BO021-03 technical service bulletin that I already have a copy of myself. Reset Procedure 3 doesn't work and Procedure 4 requires removal of the dome light assembly. And if you read my post it was primarily asking for the technique to remove the dome light assembly. Thanks for being an ass.

With 3261 posts, he should get a life rather than being a wiseguy. Thanks for the headsup.
