What to Do When the Volkswagen Tiguan Sunroof Won't Close Properly in the Rear Tilt Position?

[VanLuna]

If the Volkswagen Tiguan sunroof won't close properly in the rear tilt position, it could be due to debris in the sunroof tracks or a malfunction in the sunroof motor. If there are obstructions in the tracks or insufficient lubrication, excessive resistance may prevent the sunroof from closing. First, inspect the tracks: When there is insufficient lubrication and excessive resistance, the sunroof may activate its automatic anti-pinch feature, resulting in failure to close. The primary maintenance for sunroofs involves lubricating the tracks. Lack of lubrication over time can lead to unusual noises, poor movement, improper sealing, misalignment, or even motor burnout. Check the electrical system: Verify whether the sunroof fuse has blown. If the fuse is intact, check if the sunroof switch is damaged. Press the switch to see if power is being supplied. If there is power, inspect whether the sunroof motor is functioning by listening for its operation. Additionally, improper sealing may occur if the sunroof tracks are obstructed, deformed, rusted, or poorly lubricated.
