Unhappy My Sunroof has grown a mind of its own!

The last couple days my sunroof has been making it's own decisions? Does it not like me anymore? What did I do to **** her off? In all seriousness when I have the **** turned all the way counter clockwise (the position where the back part tilts up) it has started to open an close randomly while driving. Any ideas? Is there a sensor or control unit that may be going out, etc? Any advice would be a great help. TIA, Cam

www.audidiy.com .... It's the switch or something like that I don't really remember but I think its on there. If it's not a search should bring up the answer I know there is a fix out there.

Switch is the common issue with the crazy sun roof.

I did it when mine was going nuts and haven't had a problem since. Find the aforementioned DIY article and do what it says, it's pretty straightforward and shouldn't take more than about 10 minutes.
