Sun Roof
My sun roof will start to close and when it gets half way closed, it will stop and go back to the open position. I will turn the **** back to open and then back to close and it will close fine. Why is it doing that, any answers?

it has some resistance while closing and turns into "finger mode"
follow Maini's advice (use silicon spray for lubrication).
The problem is most likely occured because the moonroof at some point has to pull the plastic shade. The shade is hard to move and it provide enough resistance to make computer belive, that there is you neck on the way of the moonroof.
Lubricate the shade's rails. In many cases the shade get stuck really hard and breakes the rain chanel rails. This is way more trouble to fix.
