I know last year mine wouldnt close back up and it was dirty so all I had to do was clean it with some white lithium grease.

it could be off track. Thats what happened to my 99. I could vent it but not put it all the way back. I took it to the dealership and they put it back on track for me. They charged me 120.

The sitting flush is just an issue with the glass. There are six torx screws inside the car on the black side mounts of the glass. These are what align the glass up and down so it sits "flush" with the rest of the roof.

As for the not going back are there any obstructions in the track? I would remove the glass and check carefully and make sure it's all greased up, put the glass back on, line it all up to your likings and then try it again.

Somewhere I read that the sunroof has a factory setting of like 1/16" higher in the front, and 1/16th lower in the back, so it doesn't sit flush. I did mine like that, and it's really noisy, so I'm gonna adjust it. My sunroof got all sorts of fucked up, so I had to take the whole thing out and realign everything.

I know my sunroof the glass gets sucked upwards slightly when I meet a semi on the highway and it leaks when it rains really hard, only while driving tho, sitting still it dosen't leak. I tightened the 6 torx screws but it didn't help any.

yea mine got stuck too, I was like the hell with it and removed the motor from it and left it in the "closed" position, noticed one of the tracks crack or broken, anywhere I can find these to replace it?
