Default Sun Roof Help

My mom has a 1994 SL2 Saturn and the sun roof has been leaking. When on the inside you can see the gap (like its not closing all the way down). From outside you can press it down and it seals, but once you move hand it comes back up.

Does anyone know of any shops or anyone on the board that can deal with something like this? I have no knowledge of the mechanics behind this so its not my area..

Looking to get this fixed sometime this weekend. Please PM me if you know of someone who can help.

Thank you

- Mike

Bend whatever arms move it down. Sounds like the stress of being pressed bent it. I don't have a sunroof, just listing an option.

I would check/lube the tracks to see if there is any binding. Maybe even test the wires to the motor. I have read that when the motor heats up it trips a relay and resets after it cools down. g/l

I will check that this weekend. I know the motor is clicking when it open and closes and you need to help push the glass along. I am also going to see if there is a manual crack under the headliner that I can turn to just get it closed.
