I have not. Would it not work period or not function in one way or another: i.e. raise but not move back or vice versa?

A few suggestions:

Make sure their are no obstructions on the track and its lubed with lithium grease

Check for loose fuse/relay

Check if the sunroof button is making contact

If the obvious fails, take it to Mitsu for warrenty....God knows a boost controller did not cause the intermittent failure of your sunroof

Same thing happened to me, but I played with it until it fully opened, hasnt happened again, still havent figured out why it had happened. I think its something with a relay because after a min or 2 it finally opened, hasnt worried me though.

Mine had a bad seal, and I've probably only used it 12 times in 20,000 miles. Had to have it replaced.

I wish I could just have a lighter roof like the MR, and no damn sunroof!

Taking car to . I may have a bad seal since suroof is a little higher in the back. Sunroof won't level out and doesn't work at night I have 33,800 miles on my car so at least it happen before 36K
