Mt tC's sunroof gets stuck when you push the button the second time when you are closing it, anyone else having this problem?

Stuck as in it doesn't move? Mine will trip the safety thing when trying to fold the deflector down and then back itself up, but that's about it.

Or do you mean only closing Halfway from a fully open position?

and then you have to release and push the button again to completely close it

if it still moves, but doesnt close all the way, then stops and goes back to an open position, something is tripping the safty feature. check the railing of the sunroof, you probably have a twig or something stopping it, its kinda sensitive. this has happened a few times to me.

it happens to me frequently. if it trips the safety (and nothing is in the track), simply hold the wind deflectory down (its just suppored by springs), and slowly close the sunroof. just dont get your fingers cought =-0

Mine did that too, so I lubed up all of the moving part and tracks with some grease and it works perfectly again. You could take it to the dealer nad have them do it, but it wont take any more than 15 minutes do do everything yourself. Make sure to open and close it a few times to make sure you get everything and then wipe up anything that gets squeezed out.
