This is just a recommendation to those with sunroofs to use/test them regularly. Mine stuck open 4 months ago, took it to dealer and they said the lubricants were dry and they repaired. When I left the dealer...it worked.
Fast forward to today, I opened sunroof for maybe the first time since its repair. It would not shut. It would move really slow to close, stop, then re-open.
Took back to dealer, and they said KIA is having problems with the 2016 sunroofs nationwide, and they have been instructed to re-lube...but there may be other sunroof issues. They sent a request in to KIA thinking they may have to replace the entire sunroof mechanism.
Until they get back to me, the service manager said if it sticks open again, you can force it to close by pushing through where it is jamming (although I'm not comfortable with that solution, even in the short term). At least it's closed for now.
