sunroof wont shut

Somehow my sunroof cables became unsynchronized(One side is more closed than the other) and therefore I cannot get it shut. Is there a way to adjust them? If not, is there a way to get it closed until I can get it serviced?

can you open it? try and press the open button and push the semi closed side open, then push the closed button and pull it closed with your hand

Refer to here, might help you out a bit, as I had the same problem a while back ago.

if one side moves and the other doesnt...then the side that doesnt move has a broken/seized linkage. You can still close your sunroof using an allan key, inside your car, look up and you'll see a circle "button" haha, take that out and then use your allan key and rachet to close your roof..i believe you turn left to make it close. =)

to get it fixed you'll have to remove your whole sunroof, that means removing some of your interior... its not that bad...i'd recommend buying the whole roof assembly from a junk yard then just buy one linkage cable... that **** cost too much for one.
i did a write up on how to remove the roof... heres the link
