Sunroof won't close

[bebrents]

My wife put a small flag in the sunroof and closed it to hold it in place during a school parade. Now the sun roof will not close completely. It closes then back-offs about a inch., Yes the flag is no longer there and the parade is over.

Have you checked the owner's manual to see if there is a learn procedure?

I found this as a reinitializing procedure for an IS Lexus. There should be something similar for your ES, I'd think.

Reinitialize the sunroof by following these steps and see if that helps.

1. Move the sliding roof to the maximum tilted position
2. Release the switch, press the same switch again and hold it for 10 seconds
3. The sliding roof operates in a cycle of TILT DOWN>SLIDE OPEN>SLIDE CLOSE>TILT UP
4. This completes the initializing.
