Some Chevrolet Cavalier owners report experiencing issues with their sunroof not closing completely due to various mechanical problems, including a faulty motor or loose cable. Additionally, a lack of power or debris on the track can hinder proper closure. Many owners find that cleaning the sunroof mechanism is a primary repair solution, which typically costs around $100 to $150. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, they may face the need for broken cable or track replacement, with costs ranging from $500 to $800. In some cases, a faulty motor requires replacement, especially if it produces noise without closing the sunroof. Owners also suggest trying to reset the sunroof by holding the close button for about 10 seconds, and utilizing the override function may help force the sunroof closed. If these troubleshooting steps fail, seeking professional assistance for further diagnosis and repair is advisable.
