      what do you m ean by wont retract "fully"? When all the way back there's probably 3" or so iirc that doesn't fully go back into the roof

      They're supposed to retract.  They don't "fully" retract in the sense you no longer see them, but they're supposed to retract nearly all of the way. When I had my 92 Cutlass many years back, the sunroof didn't move properly.  I believe the drive gear was stripped, and I ended up just pulling an entire sunroof unit from a car in the junkyard and replacing it. I also had the sunroof in my 2000 Regal break, to where it wouldn't retract properly, and would only tilt.  I never looked into fixing it...but it acted similar to a power window with a broken track.

      Ok. So I have 90 olds CS and I’ve been bagging my head trying to figure out why the sunroof won’t retract fully. It tilts fine. I thought it was an aftermarket sunroof but I checked the RPO code 5F3 which states it is factory. I was told that gm never made a fully retracting glass in those years. Is that true??? It’s just funny how they have a whole roof system with guide rails all the way back and only have a tilt option. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

      Here's the part number   if it's the same unit as mine (which I think it should be) then it would be worth a try. I did have to cut the plugs from the old one and rewire them onto the new unit, but that took just a few minutes

      I had this issue with my '95 CS convertible when I first got it in September 2018. I replaced the sensor and that solved the issue. I can't remember whether the part was OEM or aftermarket. I think I ordered it off of eBay, so it may well have been an aftermarket replacement. It was a pain to install without removing the radiator from the car. I had to use a hammer to lever it into place. I lost a fair amount of coolant in the process, so there was obviously plenty in the system.
