Why can't the sunroof of the Jetour X70 close?
3 Answers
Jetour X70 sunroof may not close due to the presence of foreign objects inside the vehicle. Meaning of the sunroof: The left and right sides of the sunroof are two sliding rails that ensure the sunroof slides back and forth. At the front corners of the sliding rails on both sides are the sunroof's drainage holes. Common issues with the sunroof: Blocked or broken drainage pipes can result in water seeping out from the sunroof gap and dripping onto the interior. If broken, it can also cause water leakage in the car's A-pillar and C-pillar. Another issue is the aging of the sunroof's sealing rubber strip, leading to water leakage. Faults related to poor contact: If all power windows basically cannot work, the causes of such faults may include the grounding wire of the combination switch falling off, the main power wire falling off, poor contact of the relay, damage, or poor contact of the lock switch or not being closed. The repair method is to inspect and repair the circuit. If the power window is stuck, the causes may include deformation or damage of the window channel or loose screws of the window regulator.
A few days ago, I was driving my Jetour X70 when the sunroof suddenly wouldn’t close, which was incredibly frustrating. It was likely due to leaves or sand getting stuck in the tracks, blocking the mechanism. I carefully cleared the track grooves and edges with my fingers and found a buildup of dust and dead twigs. After cleaning, I gently pushed the sunroof, and it closed properly. If that doesn’t work, the issue might be worn-out switch buttons or loose wiring connections—common in older cars. Weather changes can also cause the rubber seals to age and stick, so it’s a good idea to spray specialized lubricant regularly. A sunroof that doesn’t seal tightly can lead to water leaks, damaging the interior, so always check before rainy days to ensure safe driving. Doing simple troubleshooting before calling a mechanic can save you a lot of money.
I enjoy tinkering with my car myself. When the sunroof of the Jetour X70 fails to close, it's usually due to a few common issues: debris blocking the tracks, motor failure, or control panel malfunction. If this happens, don't force it shut. First, check the tracks for any obstructions and gently clean them with a cotton swab. Then, listen for any sound when operating the switch—no sound might indicate a blown fuse or a broken circuit. If you're handy, you can try resetting the car's system by disconnecting the power to see if that resolves the issue. For temporary rain protection, use the sunshade or a car cover. It's recommended to clean and lubricate the sunroof tracks annually to prevent jamming, extend its lifespan, and save on repair costs. Address the issue promptly to avoid more troublesome leaks during snowy weather.
