How to reset the sunroof on a Volkswagen Bora?
3 Answers
Push the sunroof control button, hold it for a while after the sunroof opens, then push the sunroof control button backward and stop when you hear a beep sound. This means the sunroof has been successfully reset. Turn the knob from position A to position B, wait until the sunroof is fully slid open and then close it again. Turn off the engine and repeat the previous step.
As a car owner, I've encountered the issue of sunroof reset several times, all caused by the car's battery being replaced or power being cut off, resulting in the sunroof's memory being lost. It was quite annoying at the time, but the solution is actually not difficult: first, make sure all doors and windows are closed, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then press and hold the sunroof switch's close button. After the sunroof is fully closed, continue holding it for about 10 seconds. Finally, release the button and test the switch to see if it can open and close normally. If it still doesn't work, it might be due to a faulty switch or dust and debris blocking the sunroof track, requiring a visit to the repair shop for lubrication. If the sunroof malfunctions during daily driving, it should be addressed promptly to prevent rainwater from entering and damaging the interior.
I think the sunroof reset for the Volkswagen Bora is quite simple. Last time, I managed to do it myself in the garage. The reason was probably that the sunroof wasn't closed properly during rain, causing a sensor false alarm. For the operation, first, make sure the vehicle is in standby mode, meaning the key is turned to the ACC position. Then, press and hold the sunroof close button continuously for about 15 seconds until you hear a click or see the glass fully close. At this point, release the button and restart the switch to test the function. During the process, be careful not to push too hard and damage the motor. Regularly wiping the track dust with a cloth can help avoid the need for resetting. If you're doing it yourself, it's best to wear gloves to prevent cuts and avoid injuring yourself during the operation. After resetting the sunroof, driving will be more reassuring, especially before long trips—check the key points.
