Sunroof stuck open...

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

If it's still not working, also try this:

Turn the sunroof knob to a 1/2 open position with the car on. Shut the car off. With the car off, return the dial to the "closed" position. Turn the car on. Now turn the dial back to the 1/2 open position again. Hopefully, it corrects.

Not the most scientific I know... but I swear... it worked for me the 2 or 3 times the VW electronic gremlins visited.

Good luck.

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

Used to happen to my '03 GTi a handful of times.

What did I do to fix?

Just keep the car running... and crank the sunroof dial all the way to one side. Then... if that doesn't work... crank the dial all the way to the other side. Doesn't work? Do it again... and again... and again. I never had to do this more than like 3 times and then... voila... it seems to just "figure it out" and sort it self out. Problem fixed.

Cheers... Deuce.

Re: Sunroof stuck open...

Pop the motor cover off (that square piece of fabric right next to the switch) using a flat screwdriver or your fingers, inside you will find an allen key/tool. Use that to manually close it. Procedure is outlined in your owners manual if you need a better explanation .
