What to Do When the Sunroof of Mistra Won't Close?
3 Answers
The solution for a Mistra sunroof that won't close is: Remove the overhead light cover to expose the sunroof motor, which has a hexagonal hole. On the back of the overhead light cover, there is a hexagonal wrench. Use the wrench to manually crank the sunroof back into place and replace the lubricating oil used for the sunroof. Taking the Mistra 2021 270TGDi DCT LUX Premium Edition as an example: The manufacturer of this car is Beijing Hyundai, classified as a mid-size car with a gasoline energy type. The car's dimensions are 4780mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2770mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a top speed of 210 kilometers per hour.
I've been driving my Mistra for five years, and the sunroof often won't close due to debris clogging the tracks, such as small branches or accumulated dust. You can first try closing it manually: find the emergency tool in the trunk, usually a small wrench or key, insert it into the sunroof gap, and gently press down to close it. Cleaning the tracks is also simple—open the sunroof, wipe away dirt with a damp cloth, or spray some track-specific lubricant to make it smooth. If the switch malfunctions, it might be due to poor button contact; pressing it a few times or restarting by removing the car key might help. If that doesn’t work, check the fuse box, located under the driver's seat, and replace the corresponding fuse with a new one. To prevent issues, regularly clean the tracks and avoid driving in the rain to prevent damage. If the motor is broken, take it to a professional repair shop—don’t delay too long.
I’ve been driving for less than a year, and my Mistra’s sunroof got stuck open—it was terrifying. Immediately pull over to a safe spot, press the switch a few times to observe the sunroof’s movement. If there’s no response, it might be a switch malfunction. Check the owner’s manual for a reset method—usually holding both the open and close buttons for 10 seconds can restore it. If there’s debris like leaves in the tracks, reach in and clear them out—simple fix. A blown fuse is a common culprit; locate the fuse box behind the glove compartment and replace the specified fuse as shown in the diagram. If you can’t handle it yourself, don’t panic—contact the 4S store for assistance or ask a car-savvy friend to help inspect it to avoid accidents while driving. Regularly check the tracks after car washes to prevent blockages.
