If your sunroof is up just a little bit thats the same exact problem i had if any members remember that The fix i did was to unscrew the window itself, then work with the track and try to get it back down, then screw the glass back on. Most likely one of the arms isn't setting back down correctly. Best bet, once you get it closed never touch it again

If he screwed the window up i front of you i would have asked fow a lower price as sunroof repairs get expensive.

UPDATE

--------------------------------

The head unit you guys can just forget about, lol. We're taking the car to a local audio place, and they're going to install the $300 Kenwood we have laying around from my '94 Olds 88(I hated that car). The guy needs his $69 Sumas SM-310T because his brother apparently said he could only "use" it and not keep it. I'm sure the Kenwood is better anyways.

The sunroof will remain packing taped until I get it to a body shop to find out what's up. If it's an okay price I'll have them fix it. If the price comes back at me and I'm like WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFF
I'll try to figure out a fix that will keep it shut. Maybe I'll super glue it... LOL

Oh, and I have one more thing to ask you guys!

My rear view mirror looks like crap. It looks like it's taking a steam bath 24/7. Like think of glass when it's cold and you breathe on it, it looks like that, except theres a small oval that's still clear.

Its not that difficult and i cant see spending the money on a job you can do yourself. Sounds like the mirror is on its way out, try and clean it up. If not you'll need a new one.

How much does a new one cost? OH and it sounds like if I try to fix it the way you told me to, it's still non functional, the sunroof I mean.

Your wheel wells look like mine

Rear-view mirror, they have a fluid in them to auto-dim. That has evaporated out, just go to moradpartscompany.com and see if they have another one for you to pop in.

I'm actually on my 3rd one. In the summer time if you park in the sun and it gets TOO HOT inside this can happen. I now have in-channel rain guards and keep my windows cracked and haven't had this problem since.
