Sunroof not sitting flush with roof when closed.

lucius · 10-25-2011, 10:32 AM

This morning I noticed the front left corner (drivers side) was not flush with the roof. The other 3 corners were sitting flush. I tried tilting and opening/closing the sunroof but nothing.

Any way to resolve this?

Thanks

Try doing a sunroof calibration? Push forward or up for 45 seconds and it will begin to cycle through a reset process where the roof will open close and vent hold it until that is done and wala its fixed... Should be an image on the dash while it cycles...

Yea you push up on the sunroof button (tilt) for about a minute. Keep holding the button while the sunroof goes through all it's motions.

I think you mean "voila". Thats pretty cool if its true. Should be in owners manual.....if its true.

Thanks for the replies.
I'll try that.

lucius · 10-25-2011, 06:43 PM

Just tried the reset, no go.
I looked for any obstructions...nothing.

It's not all that bad but the fact is that it's just not sitting flush.

As long as she had 'D' minimum, long legs, delicious body. . . Actually saying 'handicapped supermodel' sounds so shallow. . . Take it back now!

See your dealer before it rains/snows.

Did you do the headliner yourself? If so how difficult was it?

I had this same problem after headliner repair, and this reset fixed it.. 1 hour and 45 minute bump.

And here too. Rear edge was sitting about 1/4” lower but operated fine otherwise.

I did notice I had to have the car running to get it to enter calibration mode.
