Mine came spec'd to the trim I purchased, but I would NOT have selected it as an option. The problem for me is that I have an Expedition roof rack and once you get a rack it has minimal value anyway. You can't see crap up there and it is TOUGH to clean. That with all the problems, makes me think it's just a PITA.

 

Hi - yes same issue. Model 21 year Defender HSE. Sunroof wouldn't open. Closed the blind. Waited for 30 second and then pressed the open sunroof button and hey presto all working again. I think the sunblind must trigger a switch that resets the sunroof.

 

On my 2020 P300 110 S with 15000 miles, I am now encountering an inability to close the glass portion of the sunroof.

The buttons work, the glass moves fine, but when it comes to the end of the track it bounces immediately into reopening mode and runs off in the opening direction.

The only method which seems to work is to push the closure button in VERY small steps - and then just before it closes push the sunroof forward (so the rebound does not happen somehow?).

That is getting a bit old -- so, I just printed out the advice from umbertob (which I used before successfully) and will try it.

In any case, I won't be visiting the dealer on this one -- too insignificant.

Enjoy !

 

I’ve tried all of these suggestions and the sunroof will still not open. When the open button is pushed I can hear the sunroof motor and the sunroof itself moves ever so slightly but stops and then closes up again. Wondering if there might be something blocking/obstructing?? Any thoughts/suggestions? Ironically, the sunroof on my 2012 LR4 also just died…. Thanks!

 

Ha, I just had this on Sunday. Same solution — inch the roof closed and it finally stuck, after bouncing back a dozen times. Next time I opened it, no problem at all.

Report back, Trio — did you reset it and did that solve it since January?

 

get used to it. Had mine for a year and it happens often, even after taking it in for service. U will have to put the car in park, take foot off break, and hold in close Positing for about 30 seconds. This is how u reset jt

 

This has only happened one time for me so far. The reset worked.

 

Not sure if this is relevant but on my 997 i had a similar issue with the sunroof. It ended up being the lube in the sunroof tracks being slightly gummed up. Once I cleaned them and re-lubed all was fine.

 

Mine acts up when there is direct, hot sun on it (typically at mid-day). When it is very hot in the car and the black gloss roof is hot, like clockwork the sunroof chokes when trying to open. Once things cool down, it comes back to life.

 

Dude, this is why you order your 911s with sunroof delete! Didn’t anybody ever tell you that.






If it happens again I’ll get up there and see if I can find any gumminess. Since its less than a year old it seems unlikely, but ya never know.
