Hello all..just a quick note and question.

I have the panoramic sunroof and on a few random occasions I have had the sunroof not want to close when in the vent position, one time it took about 5 minutes and multiple attempts before it finally worked,I checked and did not see any reason for it to have happened,the tracks are clean, not obstructions...any clues? or suggestions?

Have you tried closing the shade with the left button rather than trying to use the roof's right button to close it?

If you fully close the shade the sunroof is commanded to close from either the vent or the fully open position.. if that works every time it could be the right button itself.

No, I have not. I will try that in the future if it gets stuck in the vent position again,thank you!

When you try to close in the vent position on the right side switch, are you toggling as if you were going to open the sunroof or are you toggling close?

Toggle Close 1st opens in vented position,
Toggle Open 2nd closes vent position
Toggle Open 1st and 2x if vent is in open position will open sunroof.

okay, I have not been able to duplicate the 'stuck in vent position', but I have played with what Pilot Attitude suggested and it does force the sunroof to close even if vented, that will be helpful in troubleshooting along with the vent/close toggling, so thank you for that as well.I will mention to my dealer tomorrow to get their input to see if anyone else has had issues.I will post back what is learned.
