BX electric sunroof

Post by peterhore »

I very stupidly tried to fully close the electric sunroof by opening it fully but of course it won't shut so I followed the manual instruction to crank it shut BUT despite moving the metal lever in the direction of the arrow(very stiff) to release the electric motor I still cannot crank it shut. Its a bit cold to have the sun roof open! Any ideas would be very welcome

If you've already pushed the button so that the motor has tried to put it back into position but its just stuck, try firmly but not too hard pusing down on the sunroof from the outside to push it into place? If you push it into much, then push it back out from the inside. Hope that made sense?
