sunroof not opening all the way

Post by jak219 »

Is it normal for the sunroof to not open completely? Mine only opens until the front edge of the window is about 5cm in front of the fuzzy plastic sliding cover.

I just checked mine, looks like yours and mine behave the same. I haven't found it to be a problem

You have to push the open button twice to open it all the way because when it is open all the way and all other windows are up, you get the wicked-loud thumping sound of the wind bouncing around the car. Seems like the 2-push method was a quick fix for an unforseen problem.

2 push has always been there, at least as far back as the 05
