I think you said you tried to reset it? Did you try opening and closing it with the switch inside? Did you make sure the tracks are clear of debris?

Most likely you broke some clips. Was there snow on the roof?

Man..I think he did too. These pano roofs seem to suck a bit.
I was trying to look at my resources, but I thought there was a manual crank for situations like these when the roof won't close. My Audi A6 I use to drive had one in the event the roof motor broke. Nothing I could find for the X5 having something similar.

Did you get this sorted in the end? You can manually close it using a small flat head screw driver and a hammer. If you look in the runners for the rear portion the lifters on each side (small black metal wedge pieces) have a small hole in them - designed to insert a tool to tap the wedge back in the runners. Stick the point of the flat head in the hole and tap it gently with a hammer - and work each side back evenly and it’ll close.
Lots of (admitedly ancient) threads on this, why it breaks and various fixes - on you tube too - easiest and cheapest of which is to permanently disable the rear portion from opening by cutting some tabs off of one the sun roof components. |

Great. Had grand ambitions of fully refurbishing mine with new runners etc. But think I’ll also just cut the tabs and not mess about!

A possible option is to just remove the two small black torx screws on left and right sides of small back Pano glass metal rails. If you sit in back middle seat and look to the metal rails on the back Pano sheet you can see them. Even easier when in open position. Remove these and then go outside of vehicle and push glass sheet back down.
