I had a similar problem with my sunroof. It wouldn't completely shut in the front. My husband started to push it down with his hand. A few weeks later the sunroof flew off of the car while driving on the highway. He said he was pressing the bottom to get it to shut and it just flew straight up and away.
Now that it's out of the way I can see that the screw was corroding in the plastic lift and i imagine it was a bit rigid and couldn't depress completely.

Is there a way to get atikovi's pictures displaying again?
