What is the reason for the Sagitar sunroof not closing and bouncing back?

If the car sunroof cannot be closed and bounces back, it may be due to foreign objects in the sunroof track or insufficient lubrication of the track. It is recommended that the owner go to a 4S store or a professional repair shop for inspection to avoid affecting normal use. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. If there are foreign objects in the sunroof sliding track, the owner only needs to clean them to solve the problem. If there is insufficient lubrication, excessive resistance will trigger the automatic anti-pinch function, resulting in the sunroof not closing properly. Lubrication can solve this issue. Regularly use a special cleaner or water to wipe the sunroof's sealing rubber strip to prevent premature aging. Avoid using random cleaners to prevent corrosion of the sealing rubber strip. Regularly clean foreign objects and dust from the drainage channels around the sunroof to prevent blockage of the drainage holes. 2. The car sunroof is installed on the roof, effectively allowing air circulation inside the car, increasing the intake of fresh air, and providing the owner with a healthy and comfortable experience. At the same time, the car sunroof can also broaden the view and is often used for mobile photography needs. Car sunroofs can be divided into manual and electric types based on the driving method. According to the opening direction, they can be divided into built-in, outward-tilting, and convertible types. 3. In urban traffic jams, opening the sunroof can prevent exhaust fumes from entering the car. During traffic jams, all vehicles are in a stagnant state, and car exhaust will inevitably disperse in the air. At this time, open the car sunroof and close the side windows to exhaust the waste gas inside the car, and complete the exchange of fresh air through the car air conditioning filter.
I also encountered a situation where my car's sunroof wouldn't close and kept bouncing back, which was quite a headache. The main issue was leaves and small stones stuck in the tracks. After cleaning them out and spraying some lubricant, it worked much better. If it still bounces back after cleaning, it's likely due to the overly sensitive anti-pinch function, track deformation, or a malfunctioning motor. There's also a practical trick: hold the close button and don't release it until the sunroof is fully closed, then keep pressing for another half minute. Sometimes resetting the system can fix the erratic behavior. The anti-pinch design is meant for safety, but too much dust can cause problems. Try to avoid parking under trees, and clean the tracks with a soft brush monthly to prevent issues. If you still can't fix it, it's best to consult a professional mechanic rather than forcing it and risking motor damage.
