There are several reasons why the sunshade of the Jetour X70 sunroof can only be closed halfway, including insufficient preload torque of the roller, misalignment of the sunroof sunshade, or the presence of foreign objects inside. Insufficient preload torque of the roller: If the preload torque of the roller is insufficient, the sunshade needs to be removed to adjust the roller torque. After adjustment, the problem can be resolved. Misalignment of the sunshade: If the sunroof sunshade is misaligned, it is recommended to take the vehicle to a 4S shop or a regular auto repair shop for inspection and repair. Presence of foreign objects inside: If there are foreign objects inside the sunroof, press and hold the sunroof close button for about 30 seconds, and the sunroof will reset. This is because improper operation may make it think something is stuck, entering protection mode. If the sunroof still cannot open or close normally, check if the switch is damaged. If necessary, disassembly and repair may be required.
My Jetour X70's sunshade also had a similar issue where it would only close halfway and then stop. This is usually caused by dust or small debris blocking the sunroof tracks—accumulated dirt can hinder the smooth sliding of the shade. Another common problem is damage to the drive cable, such as aging, breakage, or loosening. Electrical components might also malfunction, like inaccurate signals from the control module or motor overheating. I recommend first checking if the tracks are clean by gently cleaning them with a soft brush and a damp cloth. If that doesn’t work, try resetting the sunroof by holding the switch for about 10 seconds to reboot the system. Regular maintenance, like cleaning the tracks and applying lubricant every season, can prevent such issues. Don’t ignore it, as minor problems may escalate into major repairs. The safest approach is to visit a 4S shop for a professional inspection.
As a Jetour owner, I once encountered a situation where the sunroof shade couldn't close halfway. That time, leaves and sand particles had accumulated in the tracks, making it impossible to push. During maintenance, the technician said that besides foreign object blockages, aging of the ropes was the main cause—they had broken due to long-term friction. Sometimes, motor control malfunctions can also be the issue. You can check the rear of the tracks for any obstructions yourself and gently push to test the resistance. The reset method usually involves holding the sunroof switch's up button for a while to try. Be careful not to force it to avoid damage. Similar issues are common in other sunroofs as well, and keeping them clean is key.
