Look on the roof headliner, just behind the dome light. There's a circular plastic disc. Remove the disc to find the nut. Don't expect much adjustment. It will move only slightly.

Is it inside the car or outside the car?? I think behind the dome lights is the rear view mirror. Do I need to take off the dome light first??

my sunroof doesn't close by itself on the right side sometimes. Could this fix the problem?

It's on the inside of the car. You don't have to remove the dome light. It's an "obvious" plastic plug in your roof, directly behind the Dome light (not "under" it). It's the ONLY plastic plug in your roof.

SVXtc -- I had the same problem with the sunroof dragging on the right side. Adjusting the nut didn't fix it. I found that one of the nylon rollers had come apart and a piece of the debris from the roller was causing one side to drag. Thoroughly clean your tracks and look for any debris. Also, a little silicone lubricant smeared on the rubber gasket around the perimeter of the sunroof will help.

I try to adjust the nut several times. But it still cannot fix the problem of opening. I still need to give it a push to open the sunroof.

Me too. Unless I'm going about 60 MPH. Then, the thing opens on its own. Try some silicone lubricant around the inner sealing gasket. Open the sunroof half way, spray some on a cloth and wipe it around the edges. That may help. If not, you may have to do the push treatment indefinitely. I've been doing it ever since I got my car. It's only a slight inconvenience.
