one touch feature on sunroof

I've noticed that my one touch feature to close the sunroof does not always work correctly. Sometimes it will close about 3/4 of the way and then reverse back a couple of inches and stop open at an awkward position.

The dealer told me I can reinitialize the sunroof controls by pushing up and holding the 'vent' button for about 10 seconds, then releasing it and pressing it once more. The sunroof is supposed to run through it's full cycle and return to the closed position. I tried this, but it didn't help...

Has anyone heard of this before? If so, am I possibly doing it incorrectly? Any advice would be appreciated!

yea, its a pressure sensor on the sunroof.
It will do it from time to time, something could be lose up there or getting jammed.

Sounds like the safety feature that automatically stops the sunroof from closing on whatever may be sticking out of it... weird. Maybe that is fa-cucked?

You may also want to check the sunroof tracks to ensure there isn't gunk blocking the tracks. That could cause the premature retraction.
