Default Sunroof works only after reseting

2007 LR3 48K Miles
Thanks to this forum I found that holding the sunroof close button for 30 seconds it will reset the sunroof. The process is also outlined in the owners manual. The problem I face is after I do the reset process the sunroof will open and close all day long until I turn the truck off and restart the truck. I have to go thru the whole reset process again.

What I see and hear when I start the car:
I push the sunroof open button and it moves so slightly, then a click, then nothing. I no longer hear any sounds or the motor, *dead silence*

I do the reset process, and it works again.

What I've reviewed:
When the sunroof is fully open I inspected the track, no cracks, no visible dirt, I only see grease on the moving parts.

Any suggestions?

let the dealer do the repgrm using IDS. It should take by then. If not get it diagnosed.

Update:

Day two at the Dealership, they are working with the IDS programing to find the issue. Since the problem is sporadic it is hard for them to pinpoint the problem.

Update

The Dealership found that the battery had two dead cells which cause a short in the sunroof computer module and damaged it. Since I just bought the car they will replace the module at no cost, but I have to cover the cost of the new battery. Since the battery was the culprit I made sure the dealership installed the new one just in case this issue may arise again.

I hope to receive my LR tomorrow and it will be fixed . . . *crossing fingers*
