I have a 95 ex and for some reason my sunroof doesn't go up by itself anymore.
I have to push the button and push it up for it to go in "tilt" mode.It still slides back and closes fine though. Nothing out of the normal happened today that would cause this problem to start.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

 

the track may have a slight bend in it

 

But how would the bend of formed? Since like I said I didn't do anything out of the normal today.

 

to be honest im not really sure but on my crx it used to get hung up on a little peice of the track that was nicked...just run your fingers across the track and see if you feel any little imperfections on the track

 

Try some silicone lube or some grease, see how that works for u, will help if that tracks and the pulley system is dry,but not so much if the track is bent

 

I will give the silicone thing a try.The thing that confuses me though its only when it goes in the tilt mode.Once its fully tilted up it slides back no problems.But ill check it out later on too see if it still does it or not.

 

yea i sprayed wd40 on mine and when it didnt work i realized it was a little peice of metal (i mean little, could only feel it not really see it)...good call tho

 

ill give that a try actually. maybe there is just something sticking.

 

let us know how you make out

 

today i gave it a try with out doing anything and it worked fine so idk what was wrong but thanks guys

 

My 95 EX has the exact same problem: it gets stuck when I push the tilt button (thus necessitating me to push it up with my hand) but it opens just fine when I press the slide button.

I WD40'd the crap out of it and that just made it slide a lot smoother...it still sticks when it opens. I have the feeling that the opening motor might be dying. How many miles on your car? Mine has 236k

 

Mine does the same thing. When my car has been sitting in the sun and i go to open it, it sounds like the rubber is sticking to the body.

 

yea thats what mine sounded like. but o well its fine now.

mine has 164k on the body. it works fine now though maybe it just was just acting up.

 

Use lithium grease! I too have a '95 Ex w/ sunroof and have loads of fun getting the thing to close all the way, to fully tilt, or sometimes it stops mid-track.

 

maybe they just get old. i have to push it up while pushing the button. it opens fine but to close it i have to push it up or it will; rub the roof scratching it
anyone know how to fix them seems like everyone gets problems with the sunroof
