Default Sunroof won't close

I opened up my sunroof this evening but couldn't get it to close. Not sure if it's related to a fuse. Since it's under warranty, I am going to let the dealer figure it out. It's going to be a cold drive tomorrow morning. I realize there is an emergency close feature but I don't want it give a try just yet. I never had a sunroof lock up on me then not be able to close it shortly after.

Back from the dealer. Fixed but recommendation was not to open the sunroof in cold weather! This is my first Audi. I am beginning to question the hype. Had a waterpump replaced, brakes squeal. Was I to expect this?

I would question my dealer. I wonder how AOA would feel about their "advice". The sunroof should work, period.

I've had no problems opening or closing my sunroof, including in temperatures below freezing (great way to "wake up" on the drive to work).

If you can't open the sunroof in temps over 0 degrees F, there is something wrong as long as there is no ice or snow on the roof. Dealers recommendation is bogus. What actually is "COLD Weather" Under freezing?

I heard you're not supposed to use your headlights if it's too dark.

It wasn't even that cold out. I am guessing it was about 35 degrees in the Philly area at 7:30 that evening. There was no ice or snow.

I almost shouted out, "you are kidding" but I did not feel like making a scene.

DrVolkl, good one.

It's not Cherry Hill. My dealer has been courteous and polite. I just question the technical side a little
