sunroof

[znc07]

finally had good weather to open up the sunroof and while i was closing it, it would close halfway and immeadiately go back to being fully opened. i tried this about twice until i held the button to make it close.

also my sunroof shade is messing up because it moves when i close it like the lineing is messed up for it

does anyone know how i can fix this problem?

Sunroof re-opening

Hi znc07,

You'll probably have to remove the sunroof glass.
It sounds to me like the sunroof blind tabs have probably broken and are causing the glass to re-open (it's activating the anti-trap mechanism)
I think you can get a repair kit at a dealership.

Good luck.

The sunroof shade sucks. Mine broke 3 times, after using it about
10 times total.

Total crap on a $40,000+ vehicle...

Hope BMW is glad they saved $0.50 by using those crap plastic clips,
and instead paid for 6 hours (3 x 2) of dealer labor under warranty
at $95 an hour.


Once out of warranty, we're screwed, because there was never a suitable
replacement part created by BMW. To "repair," they just replace the old crap
plastic clips with some new crap plastic clips.

I don't even touch the shade or sunroof anymore.

$1,200 wasted.

Sun shade is awful.

Same here...I do NOT touch the shade, it was just repaired, I opened it and it will stay open as long as I own the car. WTF.

u should i try to get thing repaired again or try to see if they will do it for free......

Sunshade clips broke. very common on E46. when the glass comes forward, binds up on the shade, activating the anti-trap. typically 1.5 hours labor and $20 in parts.

There is one answer came to mind : "income assurance for them"

With all the warranty repairs they eat to fix this (three for me), they're
probably losing money.
