Keep trying it, mine didn't fix it the first time. It took like 5 or six tries. This is always an interesting thread. I see these steps listed on the new post list every couple months and everyone is always overjoyed to find the solution. I definitely think this should become a sticky. Its a VERY common problemI tried it this morning and this is what happened.
I found a fix for Sunroof not closing flush!
Recently, I noticed that my sunroof was not closing flush with the roof but was otherwise working properly. Not by much, but there was enough room for water to get past the seal. I took the rig to the dealership. They charged me $110 to diagnose. They told me I had a bad module, it was not covered by the extended warranty, and it would cost me $675 to fix. I said never mind and took the rig home, $110 poorer.
I got online and found a TSB from 2005 that explains how to recalibrate the sunroof. I did it, and now it closes like its supposed to.
Just follow steps 7-12 at the bottom of this TSB:

Sunroof was not fully closing
The document says for 2006 Jeeps but it worked on our 2005 Grand Cherokee.
Thanks for sharing.
I am [posting the instructions here to help others. People are having Jeep owners do all kinds of stupid stuff when all you have to do is a simple calibration. So Do the following and hopefully your sunroof will be closed all the way.
7. Place the ignition switch in RUN position.
8. Close all of the doors.
9. Press and release the vent switch (sunroof should move to vent position).
10. Once the sunroof has stopped motion at the vent position, press and hold the vent switch for at least 5 seconds to recalibrate the sunroof position.
11. If the sunroof did not reach the full vent open position, press and hold the vent switch until the full-vent-open position is reached then release the vent switch, then press and hold the vent switch for at least 5 seconds to recalibrate the sunroof position.
12. Cycle the sunroof from the full-vent-open position to the full-slide-open position and back to the full-vent-open position at least 7 complete times.
The sunroof is now in customer mode with the obstacle detection thresholds updated.
