sunroof question

[dre211]

the first position is the recommended position for "minimum air flow interuption" or something like that. basically means that there will be less noise from air flow whilst it is in the recommended position. i always open mine all the way and to be honest i havent noticed any difference

if i recall on my MK4, not only do you have to flick the switch to the open position, but then twist the switch past the 'open position' for it to go all the way like the second pic

took me a few months before i figured that one out on the GTI *sheepishly*

yea what sierra said! (got your post in whilst i was typing)

Mines like this...i didnt even know it could open that far until recently!

turning the switch clockways has two positions towards the end,which stop slightly as you get to them.

first position stops alot of air entering causing a vortex and buffeting.second(all way) lets more air enter,but allows too much air to enter causing buffeting and alot of that woop woop sound.
well,thats what I found anyway.

and alot of that woop woop sound.

Sounds like out building fire alarm system.

yeah i've had a shocker, when i got my car back from service i twisted it a little further from what seems the natural stop point and voila. cheers for the input.

service was good actually can't believe how much better it is now.

Well there isnt really much else i can add to this thread other than sun roofs rock! Id never buy a car without one again.

Well I certainly feel like a goose, hopped in my car last night after work and found that extra position that I wasn't aware of! As GPK_GTI said, lots of buffeting, I don't think I'll be using that fully open position.

As I understand it, the sunroof has 2 open positions. The first, when you turn it anti-clockwise and stop, is a "best position". If you continue to turn it till the knob stops, is open. Then, you obviously have the tilt option if you turn it clockwise.

the first position anti clockwise is normal recommended point for noise reduction, then if you turn and hold slightly further unti clockwise it opens fully. Or clockwise for tilt
