Passat (B7) :: Noise When Sunroof Opened

Noticed an abnormal amount of noise when they open their sunroof?

Mine seems noiser than others I have had and adjusting does not seem to work.

Would the wind deflector work?

Passat (B5) :: Sunroof Automatically Opened By Itself?

There were 2 times I'd noticed my sunroof opened vertically when I walked to my car without recalling ever opening it. I'd just think maybe I forgot to close it. When I looked at the knob, it wasn't switch to a level so i thought it was weird.

Today while driving, my sunroof did the same thing. It opened by itself. I didn't initiate it whatsoever.

Bmw - X3 :: Sunroof And All Windows Opened By Their Selves

I parked my BMW X3 in my driveway yesterday and then went inside. I live in Oregon and it's been cold and raining for the last several weeks. When my wife and I went to get in the car about an hour later, we discovered that the sun roof and all four windows were wide open and the interior was soaking wet. I certainly didn't open the windows and sun roof. I've probably opened the sun roof once in the three years we've owned the car, and, with all the cold and rain the last several weeks, I've had no reason to open any of the windows. While the car was left unlocked, I did not leave my keys in the car and we live on a fairly private cul-de-sac. I'm baffled as to how this could happen and I can't even come up with a theory.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: All Windows Down And Sunroof Opened On Their Own

Parked my car at work today and around 4:00 a few people stopped by my office to let me know that all of my windows were down in my car. I was like ..that weird. So I went outside and lo and behold all of the windows were down and the sunroof was open. That is odd I though. So I closed them all and no further problems.

Did I perhaps sit on my FOB and press the buttons a certain way that made all of the window go down?? My office is 2 doors down from the outside of the building where my car is parked, so the signal from the FOB would have to have traveled pretty far?

Other than that, my car has 73K miles and has been flawless!!

Golf/GTI VI :: Wind Pressure / Buffeting When Sunroof Is Opened

I just bought a 2011 GTI with the Autobahn package. When I open the sunroof all the way there is a buffeting sound and pressure on my ears. I had a 2006 MK5 which had the same problem. I'm aware of only opening it partially, but I like it completely open. There really isn't a solution offered by VW except for the exterior sunroof visor. I tried this on my MK5 but it didn't work. I like the mesh pop up thing on the new Touareg. Is there anything like that out there?

Phaeton :: Sunroof Spontaneously Opened And Closed By Itself While Driving?

Happened 2 days ago, just as it started to rain. The sunroof opened about 15 cm, then just as I was starting to try to close it, it then closed itself by reversing smoothly.

Since then the sun roof has operated normally. I have waited for this problem to repeat, but it hasn't. For the first time, I tried to do a search, but failed using the key words "Sun Roof" and "moon roof". Since I know there has been several threads regarding the repair of the opening dial using a Bic pen casing, I know I am performing the search incorrectly. Issue only has happened once, and my hands were nowhere near the opening dial.

Golf V R32 :: Sunroof Opened Randomly With Switch In Closed Position

My sunroof opened on the highway today with the switch in the closed position. Being a Seattleite, this could create a very wet condition in the cabin! I have owned the car for two years and have never experienced this before.

Golf V R32 :: Muffed Sunroof - Alarming Creaking Sound When Opened

So I use my sunroof pretty regularly and a week ago I opened it to an alarming creaking sound. It opened fine but when I closed it it sits. I called the dealer and even though I only have 20k miles the warranty expired 2 weeks ago. How screwed am I here?

Prius (Gen 3) :: Sunroof Left Opened - Single Beep Alarm On Parking?

It was such a nice day today that I popped the Sunroof open on my shinny new 2013 Prius which I haven't had a chance to do until today. When I parked the Prius and opened the door to get out, I heard a 'single beep' sound. Confused and not knowing exactly what that 'single beep' was intended for, I proceeded out of the Prius and touched the button to lock the doors. But due to my absentmindedness, I then noticed that I had left the Sunroof 'OPEN'.

However, I couldn't believe that the doors actually locked and the Prius didn't do any other kind of additional alarming with the Sunroof left open. So, I presume that this 'one single beep' I heard when I opened the door was intended to inform me that the Sunroof was left open. It's a good thing that I wasn't in a hurry today and noticed it because I didn't know what that single beep was meant for.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Sunroof Making Noise At Higher Speeds When Opened

Today was the first day I drove my Elantra on the interstate with the sunroof open. When I was cruising at 65-70mph, I kept hearing a noise that I thought was coming from another car. It sort of sounded like a popping or thumping noise. After a few minutes, I reached my hand up and noticed the sound was coming from the metal bar that rises up a little at the front of the opening when the glass slides back. The wind was vibrating it and making it flap in the wind.

Passat (B5) :: Driver Door Interior Lights No Longer Go On When Opened / Bad Sensor?

I have a 2002 Wagon and when I open the driver's door the interior lights no long go on. They do go on when I open the passenger door. Occasionally the "door open" warning light goes on as well until I open and slam the driver's door several times.

1. Is this likely to be the sensor?
2. How tough is this to replace?
