Try assisting it while closing. Get someone to work the switch, and stand outside the car and wiggle it side to side (gentley) and see if you can get it back down? Just a suggestion

You said that you hear clicking? The switch clicking or the gears grinding?

Also is there a place where you can thaw it out? Could be frozen

Did you check the fuses?

they work on a cable system. could be that one of them snapped and caused the problem.
there 2 cables that pull the sunroof open and one that closes it. Ive never replaced one, but when i took my 05 in for the same problem they where pretty irritated about doing it. im told its a @!#$ty repair.

hope this helps you some.

Hey, for the amount of time it takes, take the headliner down and have a look. But its an 05 so it should be covered under warranty

the window motors are definitely junk. My windows take forever to go up. My buddy with a cav complains about the same thing. I have a 91 chevy pickup with power windows that have never been replaced and it goes up real fast.

Does it matter if I took out the little red thing as seen on this website? it seems the hex screw doesn't turn, but everything around it is......
