Default Sunroof question

So my sunroof, like many others opened but wouldn't close. Im pretty sure it's the switch. I read through all the articles and wanted to manually close it. I do not have the tool however from posts it should just require a flat head. I can figure it where on my motor to do that at though. What am I missing?


Thanks for any pointers or help

Well, that did it. Thank you sir. You really have to manhandle that bad boy to get it to move so I went a different route. I put a big oversized bit on my drill, gave it a few pulls of the trigger and 4 seconds later, all snugged up.

just wait till you try to go the other direction! the screw comes out! (maybe LOL). so that the tool can be screwed in

Lol...sounds like you found that out the hard way..
My switch def has some issues. It will open it but not close it. I'm going to order a new one Monday. I messed with the switch for a little while but it looks like some possible corrosion inside the switch and just not making good contact, cleaning didn't help.
