I left it that way last night to allow for ventilation, but now it stays open. There's no motor noise, so I don't think the fix described in the FAQ section applies. Tried looking for the fuse, but there's not a fuse circuit dedicated to the moonroof. Any suggestions?

Maybe theres a dead spot on the motor bushings? 1998 T-Red SVT #957 Born 5/14/1997

It is a problem with a lot of them. it is tempermental, i think it is an alien life form....it will be fine, just keep tryin it every once in a while. cooler weather usually has better chances of getting it to work. if u get it checked by the dealership, make sure to post the problem for the other 500 people with the same problem. 99 SVTC, T-Red, #652/2760-12.8.1998 Mother#@%@!* did I sound abstract?

The motor binds when this screw is torqued tightly and it's hot outside. I removed the screw completely to dab a little loc-tite on it's threads to make sure it won't vibrate out. Mine has now worked fine for 3 years. 2000 CSVT (#289 of 2150) 1989 Mustang GT
