What to Do When the Car Sunroof Won't Close?
2 Answers
The solutions for a car sunroof that won't close are: 1. Try repeatedly closing the sunroof; 2. Park the car in a shaded area and lubricate the sunroof; 3. Take the car to a 4S shop for timely inspection and repair. The maintenance methods for a car sunroof are: 1. Clean the sunroof drainage channel promptly and regularly wipe the sunroof guide rails with a damp sponge; 2. Apply silicone oil to the sunroof sealing strip after washing the car, which can effectively prevent the aging of the rubber strip and extend the service life of the sealing strip. The functions of a car sunroof are: 1. Effectively circulate air inside the car and increase the intake of fresh air; 2. Broaden the field of vision and meet the shooting needs of mobile photography and videography.
My car also had trouble with the sunroof not closing before, and I figured it out after taking it to the repair shop. The most common issue is debris stuck in the sunroof tracks, like leaves or small stones. You can try cleaning the track gaps with a soft brush. If that doesn’t work, it’s likely the sliding rails lack lubrication—just buy a bottle of car sunroof-specific lubricant and spray it on. Another possibility is the anti-pinch function being triggered by mistake, causing the sunroof to bounce back halfway. In that case, fully open it and try closing it again. If you still can’t fix it, don’t force it—head to the auto shop to check the fuse and motor. Randomly pressing buttons might damage the control system. Last time, mine had leaves stuck in it, and it worked perfectly after cleaning.
