I currently have a similar problem. It seems that one arm on the sunroof is frozen in place, while the other arm can move. I kept playing with the button, hearing a bit of a grinding sound - probably the gear teeth on the left arm (the one that is frozen). While messing with the button the right arm proceeded to move back a little bit at a time, but the left one did not. When trying to close the sunroof again, the frozen one would not move back (of course), but the right one did not move back either, so now it is cockeyed and stays paritally open all of the time.

I spoke with a sunroof repair person, who told me it would take a couple of hours just to bring the arm back down so that I could at least close the sunroof all the way so it wouldn't leak. That would cost $130. It seems like at least the motor would have to be replaced and possibly one or more arms of the sunroof.

Not sure if I helped or not, but it looks like it would be a few hundred bucks to get it fixed. I think I will just get the arms back in place, put the glass back in, and take the fuse out, so that no one tries to open it again.

I have a 92 SC & had to replace the sunroof relay. It controls the up/down & open/close functions. It's located above the headliner at the front of the sunroof & it's easiest to remove the headliner to access it. Also, it's a dealer part....part stores can't or won't get them. .

How can you manually close your 97 Saturn SC2 Sunroof that is stuck open?

There are two little hydraulics at the front of your sunroof. One on the left and one on the right. They sit at about a 45 degree angle. Take something like a window scraper, that's what I use and push on the backside of the hydraulic. It will push in and you will feel your sunroof go down slightly. Do the same thing to the other side. Get out of your car and you should then be able to push the sunroof the rest of the way down from outside of the car. Note: If it doesn't push down easy don't force it or you will break the glass.

How can you get your 1995 Eagle talon sunroof down all the way?

To get the sunroof of your 1995 Eagle Talon down all the way, first ensure that the vehicle is in the "on" position without starting the engine. Press and hold the sunroof switch in the "open" position until the sunroof fully retracts. If it doesn't open completely, check for any obstructions or debris in the track and ensure the motor is functioning properly. If the sunroof still doesn't operate as expected, consult a repair manual or a professional mechanic for further troubleshooting.
