Default Sunroof working crazy

i have a 92 si, and everytime i go to close my sunroof, it wants to literally close before it is supposed to, like it wants to fold down before it is supposed to. the only way it closes properly is that if i put pressure on it keeping it up till it moves fully foward.

honda sunroofs are pretty weak. you gotta actually take real good care of it from day 1. and its hard if you're not the 1st owner of the car.

Don't know...my roommates Si hatch's sunroof slows about 4 inches before it closes...so sometimes he has to pull the thing shut.
