Q: Sunroof not working

asked by on February 28, 2016

The sunroof stopped working.

There are a few possible reasons for your sunroof not to work. The most common are the sunroof motor and switch. I would have the motor and switch checked to see if they are getting power. I recommend seeking a certified mechanic, like one from YourMechanic, to come and test your vehicle’s sunroof and make the needed repairs for you.
