look for the two torx here on either side of the rear glass. remove these with the window not even tilted. I did easily. BUT to just be safe, once out, I still got out of vehicle and pressed down on the glass to make sure it was seated properly. and it's worked perfectly since, thanks to X5_Rob.

Hi guys, I tried this fix today but unfortunately after tilting the large panel up after removing the torx screws, it would not return back down? Like the small panel had moved forward a tiny bit? I don’t know if it is because the “ramps” still move forward? I couldn’t get the roof to tilt down fully, or open at all? Any ideas please gents? Thanks

dang, so is the smaller rear glass sheet stuck up too, or did it not move at all when you "vented" the front glass sheet?

if the glass is still in Vent mode, press the sunroof button closed and hold it as far forward towards vehicle front for a few seconds and an override to close the sunroof should kick in.

The rear glass did go up, but pushed back down…but the front glass wouldn’t come down at all. I had to put the torx screws back in and knock the little ramps back to get the glass down. Now it will open, but not tilt without rear glass getting jammed.

So I have a 2005 model and the last time I opened the sunroof was about 6 years ago. I have a rear drain leak problem so I want to open it to clear the drain pipe from the rear using a bike rubber coated shift cable. If it actually needs clearing. Anyway I am not keen on pushing that roof button but it has to be done. I think when I do it and nothing snaps and it fully opens I will employ this fix and lubricate (never been done). Thanks for the tip.
cheers

Just helped a friend sell an E53 X5...The sunroof and its tracks were very crusty with dirt and tree debris...it had not been used in a while, and it was unclear if it worked properly. I told him to pull fuse 58 and tell any buyer that it works but that we pulled the fuse as a precaution.
Sure enough, the first real buyer, who didn't bother test driving the car, insisted on watching the sunroof open and close....So we tried it and it worked...phew.. But you can access the rear drains from the rear hatch opening...that's not enough to clear them?
