Searched everything on this site and cannot find anything related to the sunroof. I am having this issue where the sunroof tilt up will get stuck and won’t shut. When I press forward or backward the motor make a click noise as if it received the close request but nothing happens. Wondering if anyone’s familiar and if I can fix this myself or does it need a dealership visit?
 
Sunroof issues are not unheard of. I know the 10th gen had a lot of people with this issue. They said they had their track/motor replaced from Honda. I guess the gears can spin and not engage causing a clicking. You can try a reset procedure to see if it’ll help, but you may need a replacement. It involves dropping all of the interior headliner trim, the plastic pillar trim, lights up by the windshield etc to drop the liner to work on it.

try this and see if there is any change:
