What is your question?
Hoping you can help me out - the sun roof on my 2013 Acura TL is stuck in the open position (not tilted, all the way open) and will not close. I have confirmed that the fuse is good, the switch is not broken, and there is no manual crank to close it. I tried to use the over ride to close all windows and sun roof but only the windows open/close, not the sun roof. I brought it to the nearest shop and they got in touch with Acura who told them that the module/motor most likely needs to be replaced because it has died. Unfortunately the interior roof must be taken out in order to replace the motor and the shop did not feel comfortable doing the job. Regardless I'm still not 100% certain that's the root cause of the problem. Has anyone had any history with this issue before or have any recommendations to at the very least temporarily close the sun roof so that I don't have to drive around with garbage bags tapped to my roof.... Thank you in advance for your help

The moonroof motor -- IF it is actually needed -- would not take a terribly long time or be a terribly long job for an experienced technician. Yes, it would be somewhat costly, between $500 - $1000 depending on where you go. Here's the thing -- we don't know that the motor has failed. It's just a guess. You could just as easily -- and somewhat more likely - have a problem with the track mechanism that the moonroof opens and closes on. This would actually be a worse fate and far more costly to repair. You need to find a good repair shop near you that specializes in roof repairs, or an Acura dealership perhaps. To access the moonroof motor, some partial disassembly and lowering of the vehicle headliner is required, but by no means does it need to be fully removed. Sometimes finding the right shop to do the job is the best effort to make. Good luck.
