I brought in my car for service and got a 95 wagon as a loaner. I
pushed the sunroof button and the sunroof tilted. I could not figure
out how to open it. When I got home, I soon discovered that I could
not close it either-it's stuck in the tilt position. No manual in the
car either. This is an 05 with less than 4k miles. I have a feeling
that it's not working properly. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you're right. GM inspired quality levels score another
point !

Or, it could be that it's the normal operation. The sunroof has 3
positions - full open, closed, and "tilt". He just needs to move it
"forward" until it gets to the middle position which is closed.

While GM deserves plenty of blame, I don't think this is one of those
times.

Try pushing the button forward.

That did it. That was the only combination that I did not try. I was
pushing down on the ends which is how most sunroofs work. No arrows on
the button either. Gr-r-r-r....

Thanks for your help.
