The headliner needs to come down. Then make sure the glass is on the track and locked in place. Then check the wiring on both the switch and the motor unit. Also check the fuse. If push come to shove you may have to replace the drive motor. The other possibility is that the rubber washers that mount the motor have decayed from heat and vibration and the motor is arcing in some metal. If all else fails or you just think its too much trouble, take your Jeep to someone that fixes electric windows.

Why is the sunroof on 02 Liberty stuck open Any suggestions for a fix?

Surprisingly, this is an incredibly common problem with 2002 Jeep Liberty models. The most common reasons are a broken switch, a blown fuse or motor, problems with the liner seal, or a broken auto lock. If trying to close the sunroof makes any sort of noise, it is a problem with the motor. If the sunroof doesn't make any noise at all while trying to close it, it is the switch.

How do you fix the sunroof on a 1997 Mustang if it opened and now the switch makes clicking noises but the sunroof will not close?

You will have to remove the sunroof motor, and the sunroof glass. Then you can move the guide tracks seperately until they are in the closed position. Then you can put the glass and motor back in, remove the power source (fuse or disconnect wire harness) to prevent any accidental opening until you can get it fixed. Chances are that a guide track or cable is broken, this can be a costly fix. Do not take it to the dealership, they will only want to install a whole sunroof unit. Take it to a local shop that installs aftermarket sunroofs.


What is the Cherokee Removal Act?

A guy named Jackson wants to remove the Cherokee because they have better land. He said that the land out west is better, but it's really not. The Cherokee do not believe him because he has broken every single promise he has made to them. That's the Cherokee Removal act.
