We have a 2000 volvo xc wagon. Recently the sunroof has began to open automatically when we start the car … then the other day it opened while I was driving. We live in Seattle and this was fine in the summer … now i get rained on inside my car ☹  
  
 Any ideas??

Maybe a faulty switch.

Get it closed and pull the related fuse.

If that fuse works with the door locks and windows it will be good.

Check out the switch and the wiring to the sunroof motor. There may be a loose or corroded connection.
