Thread: Sunroof closing

  1. #1

    Default Sunroof closing

    So i dont knw if this is how its suppose to be, but...


    My sunroof button, has three buttons on it

    The front, middle and rear.

    To open it i just press the rear button, itll open all the way..
    but to close it the front button doesnt work, so i have to hold the middle one to close it, and time it just right so it seals, or else it will just open upwards..
    is that normal?
    or is my button messed up?

    Your button is messed up. Pushing forward should close the sunroof from any position.

    EDIT: Surprisingly the button is the same as the manual/economy/sports button found next to auto shifters.

    Does it look like this? On these, there's only forwards, backwards and up(tilt).

    Default Nope. Infact

    Infact, BMW still uses this button even in their new 5 series. Nothing like getting it right the first time.

    Default How many buttons?

    Dont know about 3 buttons but the sunroof and mode switches are the same on mine. There is one central button which you can either push forwards, backwards or in. They dont latch in any position
