What to Do When the Tiguan Sunroof Stays Tilted Up?
2 Answers
The solution to the Tiguan sunroof staying tilted up is to inspect the sunroof sliding tracks. Here are the relevant details: 1. Lubrication: If there are foreign objects in the tracks or insufficient lubrication, excessive resistance may trigger the automatic anti-pinch feature, preventing the sunroof from closing. Simply lubricate the tracks. The main maintenance for the sunroof involves lubricating the sliding tracks. Lack of lubrication can lead to noise, poor movement, improper sealing, or even jamming and misalignment over time, potentially damaging the motor. 2. Introduction to the Tiguan: The Tiguan measures 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2684mm. It is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle has a top speed of 190 km/h, a fuel tank capacity of 63L, a maximum power output of 118 kW, and a maximum power speed range of 4500 to 6200 rpm.
I've encountered many Touareg owners complaining about the sunroof getting stuck after tilting up, which is most likely caused by dust accumulation in the tracks or insufficient lubrication leading to jamming. You can try manually pushing the sunroof gently to close it, but be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the gears. Then, use a soft cloth or small brush to clean the track grooves and apply specialized silicone grease to enhance smoothness. If that doesn't work, you should check the motor or control module, as the sunroof switch signal might be faulty, or a blown fuse could be the culprit. Another simple method is to reset the system: hold the tilt-up switch for 10 seconds, then quickly press the close button to see if it responds. For prevention, I recommend cleaning the tracks every season, as this model from Volkswagen often has this issue. Avoid frequent operation when the sunroof is dirty. If it still doesn't work, it's best to consult a professional with the right tools for diagnosis to avoid damaging more components.
