    Pano Roof Tilt - won't close

    Interesting problem. I left the pano roof tilted open today at work, as it was a hot day in Melbourne. I just went out to close it (~4 hours later) and it closes and then tilts open again straight away. Any ideas? It looks like it's going to rain later today, so would ideally like it closed

    Maybe, I had a look and couldn't see anything though. Will go check it again.

    Tried to find the sensor locations in the manual. They mention pull down switch "E" until the roof closes.. can't find this switch E they talk about.

    Yep suspected it was just something jamming so it was opening when it felt resistance.

    Thanks for the help Woofy. Do you know where the sensors are located? I've been scared to open the roof again since

    No idea, it probably doesn't have any, moreso there will be something detecting if there is resistance when closing, much like how power windows or garage doors stop.

    This happens to me when I open all windows and sunroof with the key fob to let in cool air after car sits in sun for a while or just open them all in gen.

    Sunroof tilts.... but then sometimes it won't close.... I normally get it closed when I'm actually driving and gain speed rather then the car being stationary... when stationary it'll close but tilt back up! Annoying but that's my solution...
