sunroof switch

greetings all,
i'm over in maine, on my maiden voyage in the 98 CSE. everything went smoothly and i love how the car drives.
at one point i opened the sunroof, then later when i got to a highway and started driving much faster i tried to close it and had trouble getting it to seal. i did a search and found an exchange between greg and ari from last sept that seemed to describe the same situation (not dwell between roof closing horizontally and roof tilting up at back). there was this note from ari:
"There are limit switches in the mechanism that signal the motor to stop. They are driven by a cam. If you take the cover off you'll see the motor. All the switches are in that assembly - they aren't on the sunroof itself. I'd suspect a sticky switch."
greg, did cleaning the switch fix that behavior?
in my situation, i *was* able to get the roof to close reasonably well, but it took huge amounts of fiddling with microscopic movements of the switch to get it to park the roof in the right place.
when you guys operate yours normally, do you push on the switch and let go, then the roof travels by itself until it seals?
or do you push on the switch and continue to put pressure on it until after the roof has sealed, then release pressure on the switch? on my 98 it is a single switch with a raised center lobe, and it pushes forward and backward.
thanks,
bruce
