Ok folks, appreciate all the help. What I did today. Disconnected the battery and went through the whole initialization process again, and again, and again. Roof still won't close. I had forgotten to mention one thing, not sure if it makes a difference but this has happened every time I have had done the initialization process. On the last step after the roof and shade have moved back together, the glass comes forward, but does not close. The shade has never closed. Anyone know if this would make a difference. I do keep the close button depressed for a while after the glass closes and the shade does not close.

Maybe Im missing something. After the glass and shade do their move back and forward thing. Release the switch, then pull and hold. The glass and shade move back together (they do). Then glass moves forward (it does, but does not close all the way), then the shade moves forward. So everything is happening correctly, except for the full closure part.

Thats been done. There's enough lube to choke an elephant. Its as if the roof thinks its fully closed. It gets to the same spot and abruptly stops. There is nothing in the tracks. There is no blockage. When I do the initialization, the roof and sunshades do what is described they should do...EXCEPT CLOSE FULLY. I mean the sunshade wouldnt close unless the glass is fully closed. But the sunshade is closing and the glass is not fully closed! Im at a loss. Gonna pull the headliner and manually crank the motor I guess. OK, I pulled the headliner enough to get to the motor. I found a hex fitting that I could get a hex socket onto. With this socket I could manually crank the glass open or close, albeit slowly. Did this fix the problem? NO.....Amazingly I could only crank the window closed to the same spot it keeps stopping. So, I dont know. Why does the motor run out of travel? Do I need a new motor?

I know this is an old topic, I hope someone will monitor this. My wife has an '10 Edge. About two years ago her vista roof would not close fully, about 3-4in short. I found the initialization process and after several attempts I was able to close the roof. I remember it took a couple of trys and that I may have done something differently than what the above process says. Either way I was able to close it and it had remained that way until one of the kids opened it this week. Now once again, the roof will not close fully. I have tried the initialization process many times and still nothing. I have pulled the fuse to attempt to reset it and still nothing. The problem I have with the initialization process is step 1. Press and hold until the glass is in the closed position....The glass won't close fully!!! If I could get it to close, I would just leave it alone. Anyone have any clues?
