#1: Sunroof issue.. struggling to close Author: omricn, Location: israelPosted: Sun May 20, 2012 10:50 am ---- Hey fella's,
Unfortunately my sunroof (panoramic) began acting up today.. when opening it there is no problems what so ever, it opens fully and the motor sounds smooth, but when closing the sunroof the motor sounds tired, and when it's 3\4 closed it makes a "struggling\whining" sound.. eventually it gets to the point where the sunroof's latch should close but it just stops there, looses power, and there is an inch gap between the sunroof and the wind deflector.. I was able to fully close it manually but.. what's the verdict? is the motor gone?.. I found a used motor for sale on ebay for 70£ delivered, seller claiming it works fine, do you think it's worth spending the money?

If you take the motor out you can see the thread worn down.. Ive just had to live with closing the last bit manually.
Does it make a clicking sound?

Well that calms me down a little bit, 'cause I was ready to say bye bye to the motor.. I'll be on a look out for the repait kit including the threads and runners..
And that's exactly what I was trying to describe - no clicking sound..
