2003 Accord Sunroof Problem - 3/18/2007 5:20:39 PM    yank4life   Posts: 4 Joined: 11/12/2006 Status: offline My factory sunroof only tilts now on my 03 Accord EX.  When I try to open the sunroof all the way it only comes down slightly on the drivers side while on the passenger side it hardly pushes down as it tries to slide into my headliner. I have searched on this forum and someone had stated to check for a leaf that could be blocking something as this could be the case since I park under a big tree.  I have run my hands underneath the channel when it is in the vent position and have found nothing but grease on my hand. I bought this car as a "Certified Car" and does anyone know if any Honda Dealerships will cover this? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Post #: 1

Any other suggestions?  Would I be able to open up my sunroof by using a wrench to manually crank it open to see if it would work? (in reply to yank4life) Post #: 3

I tried to crank it open manually but it wouldn't budge when I tried to open it up all the way.  I didn't want to force it causing more damage or the glass to shatter. I have 3 dealerships in my area and I can try them and see what they will charge.  It doesn't seem like the motor since it vents without a problem. Thank you for your help.
