Sunroof shade...
 
I have a 2006 3.0i with Sport and Premium...the shade to the sunroof, for some reason is now slightly opened, like the roof is venting...but the roof is closed. When I push the vent button the roof tilts up but the shade closes...is there anyway to reset this or do I need to visit the dealer$hip? Thanks...Benji:dunno:

sounds like the shade is off track. If you can't realign it then take a trip to the dealer... shouldn't be a big deal.

I think it is more like a computer glitch or something, in the normall closed position the shade is slightly opened and when i vent, the shade closes...it happens in reverse or what it should be...I am sure it is covered under warranty, but i really think it is a hassle to drive down there and wait for them to work on it when i could maybe do it myself...but thanks for your post...:)

It seems like they are just in the reverse order. What happens if you pull the fuse for the roof? Would it maybe reset everything?

I will try that and see if it would work...thanks. :p:

you need to reset panoroof look on home page for procedure had this happen a while back very easy fix

You can cycle the roof, which "resets" it.

Thanks Bimmerfan4life...I searched the page and found this past post:

When resetting the panoramic sunroof, it cycles through two modes. The first is Normalisation, where the end positions are learnt. The second is Initialisation, where the characteristic curve is learnt.
The procedure takes 75 seconds. It begins by having the floating roofliner in the open position and the sunroof completely closed. The centre of the sunroof switch is then pressed and held in the Lift position. Note: the switch must be kept pushed for the whole procedure. The roof then moves to the lift position, the floating roofliner closes then opens, the sunroof then closes from the lifted position, then opens and closes fully, the floating roofliner then closes and the procedure is finished. If you release the switch before the procedure is finished, you must start again.

For non panoramic sunroof, after sunroof raises to the lift position, hold button for another 20 secs and until the sunroof "jiggles" at the open position, release switch for a maximum of 5 secs, then hold down the switch in the raising position until the sunroof has returned to the closed position after a complete opening movement. Release the switch.
Good Luck
Colin
