Good evening i will try to be as helpful as i can.When you press the button does the sunroof move at all or only the shade splits in two,and nothing else?It sounds like the roof lost initialization(learning the end stops)-try this with the key on(or engine running)push straight up on the button and keep hoding it pressed.It will take a little while(30-45seconds)and then the roof should start moving .Keep the button pressed until the shade opens, then the glass opens, then the glass closes, then the shade closes.Do not let go of the button until the whole process stops.See if the sunroof now works-hope this helps and remember- you can always reply to this after accepting- thanks
