Car Forum / Subaru Cars / April 20092002 Outback Sunroof Stuck
Today when I went to shut the front sunroof it make a crunching sound. Now it won't open. You can hear the motor then the rear works fine. It won't even push up by hand. Any suggestions. Thanks Hope you have extended warranty! > Today when I went to shut the front sunroof it make a crunching sound. > Now it won't open. You can hear the motor then > the rear works fine.

I had a chunk of ice slide under mine while open (I cleared it before opening it but a piece slid forwards from elsewhere) and when I went to shut it, it bound up. Now, it does exactly what you describe except I can open it by hand after running the motor (pressing the open button), and if I hold the window up (gently) the motor will pull it down into position. I haven't dug into mine, yet. Dave I tried to open it when the motor was running but that didn't work. I don't really want to bring it to the dealer so I may just live with it.

For now at least it doesn't leak and is shut tight. > I tried to open it when the motor was running but that didn't work.

When I push on the window, it lifts up, but drops back down. The motor and switch seem to be working properly, though. In the closed position, the window is shut tight and won't leak. I was able to remove the front window, but didn't find anything that was broken with the lift mechanism. > I am afraid to try it it may not go back.
