How to close the tilted rear part of the sunroof?

System operation issue: You can try repeatedly closing the sunroof while driving by pressing and pulling the sunroof tilt button downward and forward. Hold down the lock button to close the windows. This may be caused by excessive resistance leading to motor overheating protection, which often occurs after summer sun exposure.
I have years of driving experience and have encountered the situation of the sunroof being tilted open several times. Knowing how to close it is crucial. The main method is to operate the sunroof control switch, usually located on the roof or center console. Look for a button with a closing icon or arrow and press it—the sunroof will slowly retract and close. Avoid using excessive force to push it, as this could damage the tracks or motor. Make it a habit to check if it's fully closed before getting out of the car. Last time, I neglected to close it in time and got caught in a heavy rain, which led to water seeping into the car and nearly causing the seats to mold. I had to replace the sealing strips to fix the issue. The switches may vary significantly between different car models—older models might require holding the button down, while newer ones respond with just a touch. Tilting the sunroof is great for ventilation on nice days, but remember to close it when parked to prevent dust and bird droppings.
As a regular driver who's also just gotten the hang of it, closing the sunroof tilt is quite straightforward: locate the sunroof button cluster and press the downward-pointing button—the sunroof should then close flush. It's fine to operate while driving, but ensure smooth movements to prevent noise disturbances. If there's no response, don't panic; it might be stuck—gently work the switch or check if a circuit fuse has blown. After closing, make sure the sunroof seals tightly to avoid excessive wind noise at high speeds or water ingress during car washes dirtying the interior. Pay attention to familiarize yourself with the controls during operation—it takes just seconds, so don't be careless. Remember, while ventilation mode is handy, avoid prolonged use lest rain becomes an issue.
