i had a similar problem with mine,turned out that there was a small piece of metal which had broken off and wedged it self in the channel stopping it from closing properly.had to remove the glass to get to wasn't to bad to repair.

Well if you have power to the motor then it would suggest the motor is duff.

Have you tried closing it with the total closure system when locking the doors with the key

Where you located? Perhaps someone could temporary try their motors?

Take the motor out and see if it will reverse. If it does, check you have 12v at both wires.

If you do, probably a dodgy join in the motor.  :smiley:

If it opens under its own power then why would the motor be at fault??
