Hey Everyone!
New to the forum so forgive me if this is in the wrong place, but I just bought a used 19 RAM 1500 about 3 weeks ago, with the panoramic sunroof, and have been having some issues with it. To be fair, I knew about the issues when I bought the truck, they've just gotten a bit worse, and seem to be something I'm going to have to deal with sooner than later now.
I have noticed that every time I open or close the sunroof, that the panel will make it about halfway back or forward before it starts "shaking" and moving very slowly. This issue seems to be worsened by heat as well.. the truck sat in the sun yesterday for 3-4 hours and it was hot enough out for the interior to be pretty hot by the time I got in it, when I went to open the roof, it almost didn't want to open, and then when I went to close it, I literally had to pull it closed while the motor was moving it to get it shut.
My original suspicion was a weak motor, as the truck has 132k miles on it, and I suspect the roof has been used quite a bit, but I was unsure if anyone else had run into a similar issue and found another solution before I spend the almost $300 on a motor and spend the time to drop the headliner and roof assembly to actually replace the motor. Also for what it's worth, I have cleaned and lubed the track twice.
