Manually close sunroof? - Honda Pilot

The Godfather · 12-09-2011, 12:31 AM

Our sunroof has been tilted open for a while now, it wasn't a big deal during the summer but I went to the dealership the other day and they wanted $300 just to close it(not even to fix it). I think the motor is bad because it clicks when I hit any of the buttons.

Anyway, is there a way to manually close the sunroof?

Thanks!!

Eeek, my automatic moonroof / sunroof stopped working!

Thanks for the link, but I think the motor is broken. I cannot move the sunroof at all no matter which button I press, I just hear a click coming from the roof. Like I said, I believe I have a bad motor, I'm just wondering if there's any physical way to shut it without having to shell out $300. Thanks!

The repair manual for my MDX talks about using a moonroof wrench to manually operate it. I'm guessing it is an allen or torx wrench that you insert through a plug like this (from an odyssey) https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/...606O00380A.pdf

Do you have a removable plug in the headliner?

Might be a moonroof wrench back by the lugnut wrench.

something like this:
