Default SUNROOF ONLY OPENS OVER 75 MPH AND OTHER WEIRD PROBLEMS

So I have a 99 HX, it has a sunroof, but I can only get it to open if i'm going over 75mph and one of the windows is down. It's weird I know, it will open up always, but will only slide back if i'm over 75 and the window is down. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

Also, the drivers side window works half the time. When it does work it rolls up and down with no problem which makes me think that the motor is just fine, so I have no idea what is wrong. I have checked all the wiring for loose connections but have found nothing wrong.

Another thing I have noticed, when i'm going at a constant speed, like on the highway, sometimes the car will just accelerate a little bit more, but I haven't pushed the gas down more. I don't know if a dirty fuel filter can cause that or not, or if anyone has any other ideas. Any help would be appreciated!

i cant really help you with the sunroof, but for your drivers side window... it is a possibility that the window is off the track / rail. maybe it works sometimes because it bounces back into place from road vibrations.

It's because there is positive pressure in the cabid pushing against the sunroof when you go faster. Use soem solicone spray on the rubber around the glass, also spray some lube on the tracks. This should help.

if that doesnt help, check your moonroof motor

Have you looked at your switch for the window?

I thought it might be something to do with the pressure in the cabin, i'll try the silicone spray and see if that helps.

all the problems you are having are very very minor

the sunroof motor is just old/weak

the window switch on the left is probly has a loose connection or broken, get a new switch

and even if you hold your foot at the same spot on the gas it will accelerate
