What is an "initialization cycle" for the sunroof? Sounds wacky but glad to hear you got it resolved!

all you do is hold down the up button (to make it tilt) for 40-60secs and it should go through all the motions recalibrating the sunroof.
I actually found a thread on this, but it didnt work when i tried it just before going to the dealer.

just glad the car is back to perfect =)

regarding the pros/cons of a sun roof, i love being able to have fresh air with it blowing into my face. but in the end i guess it depends on your priorities with the car.
I had it happen too, and this resolved my issue.
