How to Open the Sunroof on an Older Audi A6?
2 Answers
The panoramic sunroof glass and sunshade can only be operated when the power mode is set to ON. Press the sunroof switch button once to automatically open the sunroof. During automatic opening or closing, a brief press of the switch will stop it at the current position. Pull and hold the switch backward, then release it when the desired position is reached. Push and hold the switch to start moving the sunroof glass, and release it when the appropriate position is achieved.
I've been driving an older Audi A6 for many years, and operating the sunroof is actually quite simple. Sitting in the driver's seat and looking up, there's a control panel in the center of the front roof with a sunroof button. Pushing it forward once slides the sunroof open backward, and pushing it again may fully open or stop it; to close it, pull the button backward. Remember that older sunroofs tend to accumulate dust, so the tracks should be cleaned every quarter with a soft cloth and some lubricant to prevent jamming. The first time mine got stuck, I struggled for a while before realizing it was a dust issue. It's safer to operate the sunroof when parked—avoid opening it on the highway to prevent debris from flying in. After opening the sunroof, the ventilation inside the car is excellent, saving a bit on AC fuel costs. It's a pleasure to drive with the sunroof open in spring and autumn. Also, if it won't open, check the fuse box located slightly to the left under the steering wheel—it's a simple fix you can handle yourself. Regular maintenance of the sunroof can extend its lifespan and keep it functioning longer.
