So today be a nice day, I threw open my sunroof and then closed it. When I tried to open it again it wouldn't and I can hear the motor running and it kinda moves but doesn't do much. The sunroof is one of those that opens up and slides back rather then going into the roof. The car is a 93 Civic EX.

Edit: Any ideas on how to fix it.

Did you try to push on it to pop it up?

My '92 si did this once, and on closer inspection i noticed that the rails or sliders or whatever looked kinda crusty. I gave a quick sand to what I could get to, and sprayed a bunch of white lithium grease (more durable than WD-40), and it never happened again.

I will try that in a few. Thanks for the tip.

Hey that worked. I buy some white lithium grease tomorrow.
