Problem overview

Some Nissan Frontier owners report experiencing sunroof malfunctions, particularly issues with partial closure that may require dealership repair. These owners often begin troubleshooting by checking for obstructions like leaves, dirt, or ice that could hinder the sunroof's movement. Additionally, they pay attention to any unusual noises during operation, which may indicate a mechanical problem. If initial checks do not resolve the issue, some owners attempt a "resume" procedure to reset the sunroof by fully opening it and then partially closing it before operating the close switch. Others may perform a manual reset by turning on the ignition and holding the tilt switch until the sunroof closes completely. Despite these efforts, if the problem persists, it is recommended that owners contact their Nissan dealership for professional assistance, as technicians possess the necessary expertise and tools to effectively diagnose and repair complex sunroof issues.
