What causes the sunroof of the Volkswagen Tiguan to not close properly with the rear end raised?
2 Answers
It may be due to foreign objects in the sunroof guide rails or a malfunction of the sunroof motor. Below is a related introduction: Car sunroof: The car sunroof is installed on the roof, effectively promoting air circulation inside the vehicle and increasing the intake of fresh air. Additionally, the car sunroof can broaden the field of vision and meet the needs of mobile photography and videography. Tiguan: The Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan offers a total of four versions with seven models, including the Urban Edition, Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline. These models are equipped with Volkswagen's flagship 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, delivering outstanding performance in both power and fuel efficiency. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, the power is better utilized, providing exhilarating performance while also being more environmentally friendly in terms of emissions.
I have a Volkswagen Tiguan, and last year the sunroof wouldn't close properly—the rear part was tilted up, which was quite annoying. At first, I thought the motor was broken, but upon inspection, I found that the sunroof track was jammed with debris like leaves and dirt, preventing it from closing fully. Another possibility is a sensor issue, where misalignment or lack of calibration makes the computer think it's closed when it's actually tilted. I suggest trying to manually clean the track first—use a soft brush to sweep away accumulated dust, then restart the car and hold down the close button to reset the system. If that doesn’t work, it’s best to visit a professional shop to check for track deformation or motor wear. Regularly maintain the sunroof by cleaning it every six months to prevent small issues from becoming costly repairs—after all, rainwater leaking into the car and damaging the interior is even more troublesome.
