What causes the sunroof of the 2019 Sagitar to bounce back after closing?
2 Answers
This situation may occur due to a damaged sunroof motor or foreign objects on the sunroof track. Here is some extended information about the Sagitar: 1. Vehicle positioning: The Sagitar is a joint-venture A+ class sedan brand under FAW-Volkswagen, a compact car from Volkswagen. 2. Configuration: The entire series comes standard with integrated LED headlights for high and low beams. High-end models feature a grille ambient light design, MDFS intelligent dynamic headlight assist system, and AFS headlight steering system. 3. Interior: High-end models are equipped with a 10.2-inch Active-Info-Display dashboard and an 8-inch multimedia screen angled toward the driver's side, supporting Apple Carplay connectivity. Base models do not have a multimedia screen, and the air conditioning panel uses touch-sensitive buttons. Mid-to-low-end models come with traditional mechanical pointer instrument clusters.
I've been driving for over 20 years and have encountered several instances where the sunroof wouldn't close properly and kept popping back open, especially in models like your 2019 Sagitar with anti-pinch functionality. The most common causes are debris stuck in the tracks or excessive dust accumulation. Sunroofs are designed to detect resistance, and once they sense an obstacle—like leaves or small stones—the anti-pinch feature activates, causing the sunroof to reopen to prevent jamming. You should first inspect the tracks for any obstructions. If nothing is found, it might be due to sensor false alarms or motor aging causing movement resistance. Another method is to try initializing the sunroof: after turning off the car, press and hold the sunroof button for a few seconds to reset the system. If that doesn’t work, it’s likely a control module issue or poor wiring contact, as prolonged use can also lead to track wear, affecting smooth operation. It’s best to visit a 4S shop for professional diagnosis rather than forcing it closed to avoid damaging more components. Regularly cleaning the tracks and applying lubricant during use can significantly reduce such occurrences.
