why is it when i have it fully open . when i twist the switch around to the fully close the position the sunroof will get to about 95% closed then re-open all the way. then i gotta spin the switch around to open then back to close again then the second time it tries to close it works perfectly ? is there something wrong with it. ? is it a safety feature or something. does anyone else have this problem ?

 

i just read that there is a button on the window switches that has some safety feature ?

 

There is an anti-pinch feature. If a window or the sunroof feels too much resistance it will open. That sounds like the problem you are having with your sunroof. You could try disconnecting your battery and reconnecting it, this calibrates the automatic up and down for the other windows, so maybe it will help with the sunroof, Im not sure. Otherwise make sure the sunroof isnt binding up.

 

yea just like dallas said theres a little saftey feature on it. You can try and read the manual on how to reset it but you should try and disconnect the battery for about 2 mins then connect it agian... but before u disconnect it make sure you have the code for the radio because on the stock radios you will need the code to activate the radio

 

great ok thanks guys. its just annoying when i get to my destination and go to close the sunroof i gotta sit in the car for another minute while it re-opens and closes again. i mean its not a long time but it is annoying. ill try disconnecting the batter, is the code on the back of the radio like most of coded-radios ?

 

It is not, should be in the radio owners manual, unless the card has been removed.

 

I had this problem and it turned out to be dirty/bent contacts in the rotary switch that opens and closes the sunroof. There's a DIY on here somewhere.

 

The code for the radio is in the owners manual... if you dont have it there then you can get it from the audi dealer... just bring your registratioin

The radio code can be recovered for free if you call Audi of America with your VIN and politely ask to have them give it to you. A dealer will likely tell you they have to do something special and charge you an hours work for a 5 minute computer job.

 

thanks guys . i know its a small little issue but it is annoying . hopefully tomorrow if its not raining or freezing ( this weather is ridic it really is all week long its sunny of course when im at work but the weekend comes boom rain) i plan on doing some work to the car and ill discon the batt after i get the code of course if thats a no go ill take a look into the diy and take apart the switch. thanks again guys for the input
