How to Fix a Stuck Moon Roof

Instructions

    • 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.

    • 3

      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.

    • 5

      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.
