Default stupid sunroof...

now has a mind of its own. It started a while back, RIGHT after the last service, wouldn'tchaknowit? The first symptom was when trying to close it, it wouldn't respond to the fully closed setting on the ****. Next to last one, sure, but not fully closed, so I'd have to hit the tilt button then close it that way. Well, now the second notch is gone, and when I opened it, it went fuilly open, then shut a bit, then opened, then shut a little bit again. Yay. Not wanting it to burn out the motor, I just shut it and will have someone look at it soon. Anyone else have this happen? Very strange...

Default Sounds like a bum switch to me...

...which is better than my issue, which turned out to be a bad motor, and required a new sunroof assembly.

Default yeah...

I'm sure it's the switch, and I *am* glad it's not the motor, I bet that was a nasty bit of surgery. Good thing it's too cold to use the roof most days here now, I won't miss it...

Also, you can use the manual crank found on the inside of the fuse box.
