Default Sunroof question

I had the sunroof issue where button would do wacky things, it opened and closed but only after a series of random button pushes.

So replaced the motor with a used one from eBay and it works great! Question on the one touch function- is it supposed to work on both open and close? Or just open? I’m not seeing the one touch close the sunroof, and wondering if it’s supposed to be that way?

I’m having the same issue with mine being wonky. Was it difficult to replace the motor?

Same as window reset...press open and hold button for ten seconds, then close and hold button for ten seconds. Resets limits and one button open/close.

Thank you! Will do a reset and see if it fixes the one touch in both directions.
