I have noticed over the past few weeks that my sunroof isn't closing to the correct position with the back end sitting 4-5mm lower than the roof line but a manual push from inside stopped any excessive wind noise. I asked my local dealer who said that there is a small adjustment that can be made to the alignment of the roof which involves lossening three screws. I was already aware of this having done a brief forum search here but yesterday decided to search further into the archives!
My reason for this post is that I eventually came across a message that offered an alternative solution. It appears that if your battery is disconnected for any reason this can cause the sunroof to get slightly confused leading to this alignment issue, this was the case for me as I had a new battery fitted recently!
To reset the system you need to tilt the roof and keep hold of the button for approximately 30 seconds until the roof motor clicks or moves slightly, then completely open the roof and then press the button once to close it - this should do the trick and it certainly worked for me!
I know adjusting the screws can also work but why bother with that when this works and I would certainly recommend trying it before opening your tool box!
I apologise for not remembering the name of the person who originally posted this information but I thought it was important enough to bump it up the forum - John / Moderators - would it also be possible for you to include this fix in the the repairs section?
Many Thanks to the forum for again saving me some cash! I would go and advice the dealer of this simple solution but I doubt they would bother to listen!
