How to fix the issue of the 2011 Tiguan sunroof not closing when tilted up?

[BraydenDella]

Tiguan sunroof not closing when tilted up may be caused by foreign objects in the sunroof guide rails or a malfunction of the sunroof motor. If there are obstructions in the sliding rails or insufficient lubrication, excessive resistance can prevent it from closing. First, inspect the sliding rails: When there is insufficient lubrication and excessive resistance, the sunroof will activate the automatic anti-pinch feature, resulting in failure to close. The main maintenance for the sunroof involves lubricating the sliding rails. Lack of lubrication over time can lead to abnormal noises, poor movement, incomplete sealing, or even jamming and misalignment, which may burn out the motor. Check the electrical circuit: Inspect whether the fuse for the electric sunroof has blown. If the fuse is intact, check if the sunroof switch is damaged. Press the switch to see if power is being supplied. If there is power, then check if the sunroof drive motor is functioning by listening for the sound of the motor operating. Additionally, the sunroof not sealing properly could be due to obstructions, deformation, rust, or poor lubrication in the sliding channels.
