How to Fix a Stuck Moon Roof
Moon roofs allow a rider to look at the sky through the top of a car. Debris occasionally prevents the moon roof from opening or closing. The motor controlling the opening and closing mechanism of a moon roof is sometimes prone to failure.

1
Turn on your car's ignition. Moon roofs typically do not function until the key is in the "on" position.

2
Open the moon roof's shade. This is the cover that blocks the moon roof. The moon roof does not open unless the shade is completely retracted.

Check the moon roof's tracks for any dirt or debris that might prevent it from opening or closing. Clean the tracks with a household cleanser.

4
Check the buttons used to open and close the moon roof. Coffee and soda are sometimes spilled on the buttons, causing them to stick. Clean the buttons with a household cleanser. Press and release the button after cleaning.

Take your car to a mechanic if the moon roof's motor is non-functioning. The repair requires specific tools and replacement parts not commonly found in a home garage or workshop.
