Sunroof not sealing properly

335alive · 03-14-2014, 01:16 PM

Just noticed while walking away from my car that my sunroof is not seating itself flush with the roof when closed. I only noticed because my co-worker drives an E92 and was parked right beside me. His was flush.

Mine doesn't seem to be rising all the way at the back to "seal" when I close it. There is a noticeable gap, not even big enough to fit a finger into, but to anyone who knows these cars, it's noticeable. I haven't experienced any leakage yet, but that may come with the warmer temps when the rainy season starts.

Any ideas? If it doesn't end up leaking, I may just live with it.

Is this something I could manually re-align myself?

Post pics, if it doesn't leak I wouldn't worry unless it is noticeable on its own

Turn on your engine

press and hold the sunroof button (press forward) for 20 second

the sunroof will do a complete open & close cycle

Problem solved

you can thank me later
