Sunroof tilts, but closes immediately

[Hellrotten]

The sunroof opens, completely. But if I try to tilt it, it goes up, then retracts immediately. When I hold the unlock button, all the windows roll down as they should, but the sunroof only opens half way. Sound familiar to anyone?

Have you tried a sunroof reset, yet? Sometimes it works when there's a malfunction of the sunroof's operation. Press upward on the button and HOLD it for approx 10-15 seconds (a little bit longer than what the owners manual suggests):

does that work if it won't close completely?

This happened to me last fri. I called Iceman and he instructed me to use the same method to reset. Did it and it worked.
