Q: Sunroof stuck open

asked by on February 23, 2016

The sunroof is jammed in the open position.

Hi there. A jammed sunroof is caused usually because of gathered dirt along the track obstructing the sliding of the sunroof. Another possible issue can be that your sunroof motor has weakened over usage. You can have a certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, come to your home or office to diagnose your sunroof and have it repaired.

No beeping when locking car.
I would verify with your Honda service department but typically the horn will only sound if you push the lock button a second time. This is to alert you that you've locked your doors again. The first time will flash...
battery keeps going flat when left overnight
You didn't indicate the age of the battery (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-long-does-a-car-battery-last). If the battery is "new" (less than 2.5 years old) and passes a load test, you should check for parasitic loads (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-diagnose-a-car-battery-drain_2). With all car accessories off and key out of...

Hi, thanks for writing in. I'd be happy to help you. Code P2104 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p2104-obd-ii-trouble-code-throttle-actuator-control-system-forced-idle-by-jay-safford) relates the throttle position control actuator, and code P2126 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/-p2126-obd-ii-trouble-code-throttle-pedal-position-sensor-switch-e-circuit-range-performance-by-jamahl-walker) relates to the throttle position sensor.

Car feels like it's going to stall.
This is a common symptom of a misfire (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/engine-is-misfiring-inspection) or potentially a faulty idle air control valve (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/idle-control-valve-replacement) which when faulty, can cause the misfire to happen due to an improper air/fuel mixture being supplied to the engine. The idle...
I notice my car shakes a little when i accelerate from a full stop.
Hello. If the shudder only occurs slightly under acceleration then it typically is not a dangerous problem. Most of the time it is caused by a bad engine mount or an issue with a failing cv axle (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/axle-cv-shaft-assembly-replacement). If one...
Crank, no start, good fuel pressure, and spark
Hi there. The cam and crankshaft position sensors (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-crankshaft-position-sensor) control the TIME in which the spark plug ignites; not the actual action of the plugs igniting. So, it is very possible that your hard to start issue is caused by...
My truck feels like it won't go in drive while I'm driving
You should have the computer and transmission scanned to see if the system is storing codes that can be fixed without an internal transmission issue. The codes will need to have the pinpoint tests done to isolate the problem.
Bypassed my heater core and refilled my reservoir tank for coolant checked it after two days it's getting low again
I can't help but think that there is a little more back-story here. But I presume you bypassed the heater core because you had a leak inside the car. That's something you can do if you don't need heat of...
slightly rough idle only in drive position but the rpm needle doesnt move - i had the intake mainfold replaced already
The vibration could be due to faulty motor mounts. To cover both that possibility, and the possibility that the vibration stems from an engine management fault, I would suggest that you request a rough operation/rough idle diagnostic (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/car-idle-is-rough-inspection) and the...
