Panoramic sunroof, flush when closed?

[rolfi]

Hey.

On my car the rear part of the front glass, sits a little bit lower than the front part of the rear glass. Is this normal? I would think the two parts were supposed to sit flush.
Is there any way to manually adjust the closed-position of the sunroof?

I've tried the calibration procedure (or whatever it's called) by pressing and holding the button with the key in pos 1, until everything is closed again. But it didn't reposition the front glass.

The rear glass was deactivated a couple of years ago at the dealer.

Do anyone have a picture from the side, so I can see how it's supposed to sit?

thanks.

My sunroof doesn't sit flush with the roof. It always looks like its opened and when I wash the car I can see condensation on the inside

The air in my car feel humid after it's been raining, but it's not like the windows are fogging up, so it's not THAT bad.
The carpet isn't wet, and no water is dripping from the sunroof slider or the headliner. I always drive with the sunroof slider closed, but I'm sliding it back now and then to see if there is any moisture under there. The only time I've seen moisture (water actually) was after I washed the car with the sunroof in vent position...

When I wash the car with the sunroof closed, I can see a lot of water disappearing between the front and rear section because of the angle of the front section of the sunroof.

I would be very grateful if people who see this and have a panoramic roof could take a picture of how it sits when closed. I'll post a pic of mine later today.

Mine is not exactly flush as well.

I stopped fiddling with it since water was not getting in anyway and did not want to chance the roof acting up like I read here so often. The shade is the only thing I open.

I am having "issues" with my Panoramic sun roof as well so I will be following this string closely.

On mine it decided to open by it self on start up and then not close at all but go into "vent" no matter what or how the switch was pushed. I have pulled the fuse after bumping the switch getting the panels close as possbile to the fully closed position.

Any one know where the manual crank is located?

This is what my roof looks like closed...

Stephen, manual crank is located on the ceiling above the rear pass windows under a plastic cover IIRC.

I never had to use it yet so not sure, I seem to remember reading somewhere it was there.

I hope these help.

Thanks a lot!

Here is mine:




Looks like I've got some work to do

I've found some instructions for adjusting the position of the front glass.

I hope I find some time to do it this weekend
