My sunroof on my Integra is stuck open, is there a relay that may be causing this or is there more to it? Every once in awhile when you push the close button it will move six inches or so then stop and then it will not again Help!!!!!

The obvious is that if it works and then doesn't work you could have an overworked motor. In other words, it could be the motor or a relay but you might want to look a little bit deeper into what is causing the problem which could be that the tracking is dirty, needs lube, etc. You can close the sunroof by hand. There is a section in the book about doing it and honda/acura usually provide a tool in the trunk to allow you to close by hand.

Suggested Repair

Check the sunroof motor and relay, but also inspect, clean, and lubricate the tracks. The sunroof can be closed by hand using the tool usually stored in the trunk and the procedure in the service information.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1999 Integra says the sunroof is stuck open and only moves a few inches occasionally when the close button is pressed. The expert says intermittent operation may indicate an overworked motor or a relay, but dirty or dry tracks should also be checked. The sunroof can be closed manually with the tool Honda/Acura usually provides in the trunk.
