Default I thought this would happen!!!

A little long w/ spelling errors. Sorry!!

For the longest time now I had problems with half of my cars exterior light being brighter than the other (and yes I know about the rear fog light). The only reason I was procrastinating taking it to the stealership was because I thought once I did they would fix the issue and be messing with something else and f up something else on the car. Well I ended up taking it in to have the issue fixed as well as an oil change, and know I'm having additional issues. Originally I had asked the service rep to fix the light issue, complete an oil change, and also plug in the car for codes and inspect the whole car to make sure everything was in tip top condition (I recently bought the car from a private seller and even though he had all service package and regular maintenance was done with records, I wanted to double check and make sure everything was in tip top shape before continuing mods.) Now out of the blue, everytime I try to close my sunroof it wont close completely. It hesitates and sometimes I'll have to play with it for a minute for it to close. I couldn't find anything on the forums about this issue. Any suggestions!!!!

Oh, and do alot of you get service done from the dealership or do you go to private mechanics?

Thanks!!!

You didnt search very hard. Its been talked about... The switch for the moonroof gets messed up. Spraying some electrical contact cleaner up in the switch is a solution for some people, replacing the switch is the solution for others. You are lucky it didnt get stuck open. Id leave it alone until you get some spray or a new switch.
