Sunroof won't close
I can't get my sunroof closed. I saw in some other threads about a reprogram for the sunroof. I can't seem to locate it on the forum. Can someone help me please?

Sunroof Motor Assembly Note
Note
• If the guide is removed, initial position setting of the sunroof motor will be required. After installing the sunroof unit, perform initial position setting using the following procedure.
1. Press the CLOSE switch to fully close the glass panel.
2. When the glass panel reaches the fully closed position, temporarily release the CLOSE switch and press it again for approx. 13 s continuously. Continue pressing the switch until the glass panel automatically stops at the fully closed position after reaching the mechanical lock position.
3. When the glass panel stops at the fully closed position, temporarily release the CLOSE switch, then press it again within 5 s and hold.
Note
• Press the CLOSE switch continuously until the glass panel opens to the fully open position, returns to the fully closed position and then stops.
4. Release the CLOSE switch when the glass panel stops at the fully closed position.

I will give this a try. When I called the dealer they said they have never had an issue with sunroof's in the RX 8. I'm wondering if this is just a fluke. Thank you.

I can't get it to close no matter how long I hold the close button. When it gets to the almost closed but tilted position, it sounds like something is holding it. So frustrating!
Update: I don't know if I wasn't holding the close button long enough for it to finally close or what. After I finally got it closed, it would let me do the reprogram. It shocked me when it finally closed cause of how long I had been holding the close button.
Xero Ryuu, thank you very much.

Same had happened to me after having 2 motor replacements in my 8 in a row (first one was defective).
