2007 Infiniti M35 Sunroof is stuck about 2 inches open.
It started getting harder and harder to close and I would have to manually help it close!
I had it in a close position for awhile and then on a sunny day decided to try and open it again!
It now got stuck open enough that it will get soaked in the car and I can't close it.
When I press the buttons to open or close, it's just nothing - like it's completely dead or electrical - I'm hoping that it's the motor.
I find the motor online for as cheap as $50.
Dealer ship wants $600 just to close it!

Sorry you're having this issue. I'm sure someone knows how to get it closed, at least temporarily.

I'm hoping it's not the motor, but rather the switch or better yet, some fuses. The fuses can be checked without any special tools.
The FSM says that the relevant fuses to start with are:
1. 50A fusible link (letter F, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
2. 15A fuse [No.1, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
3. 10A fuse [No.21, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
Page 10 of this document will tell you exactly where to look -> http://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual? ... M45-M35/rf

Pull down the sunglass compartment/roof console. Directly above it you will see the sunroof motor. Insert appropriate sized hex key (might want one on a socket) and turn until the sunroof closes completely. IIRC it closes then vents up then comes back down completely.
