Sunroof failed to close when it started to rain....took to Saturn to be looked at and they told me it was the cables...they then told me it would cost $954 to fix, the sunroof has barely been used on this car, as I have been the only owner and would know, it seems ridiculous that it would break after only a few uses, seems more like a defective part. Because the sunroof is stuck partially open it caused water damage to the slider, and I have to push it down every time I get into or out of the car.
