It sounds like there may be an issue with the moonroof mechanism on your Pontiac. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and possibly fix the issue yourself:
1 Check the tracks of the moonroof to make sure they are clean and lubricated. Use a silicone-based lubricant or a dry lubricant specifically designed for moonroof tracks.
2. Inspect the moonroof motor and gears, make sure they are not jammed or seized. If they are, you may need to replace the motor.
3. Check the moonroof control switch, make sure it is not damaged or faulty. If it is, you may need to replace the switch.
4. Check the wiring and connections of the moonroof motor and switch, make sure they are not loose or corroded.
If the problem persists, the issue might be with the moonroof mechanism itself, it could be a broken gear or a bent track, in that case, you might need to take it to a professional mechanic.
Tools you will need to complete these steps are:
+ A silicone-based lubricant or a dry lubricant specifically designed for moonroof tracks
+ Screwdrivers set
+ A clean cloth or towel to protect the dashboard and surrounding areas while you are working on it.
Please note that these are general steps that can be applied to troubleshoot this issue, your vehicle might have specific issues that might require different troubleshooting methods, it is always recommended to consult your vehicle's owner manual for specific instructions or take it to a professional mechanic if you are unsure.
