About a year ago my sunroof would randomly flip up so I googled it and found this fix : :: a4mods.com :: - The Premiere Audi A4 Modification Guide and Pictures Library

Was pretty easy to do but since I did that, my sunroof doesn't want to close. When the sunroof is closed, I have no flip up by pushing the dial up function. If I turn the dial to open it, it flips up. Then I turn the **** back to flip down. Then I can turn to open the sunroof. Doesn't go all the way back, but mostly back. Maybe an inch or 2 from being fully open. Now, when I turn the dial back to close, the glass closes then immediately opens back up maybe 75%. So I can't close it with the dial at all. I have to use the manual crank to close it.

I shot some video of it, sorry about the odd camera angle, I'm trying to get both the dial and the sunroof in the shot. And sorry about the music lol my daughter's disney CD was in the system.

 

I had similar issues with my sunroof many years ago. The switch fix didn't solve the problem so I looked at the motor. My motor worked fine when powered by an external 12VDC source, so I concluded that the circuit board inside the motor housing was bad. A new motor was fairly expensive so I took a chance and bought a used motor off of ebay. My sunroof has worked perfectly ever since.

 

anything else it could be? unless it's sheer coincidence the motor went right after I tried that DIY fix

 

bumping this up, summer is coming i'd like to get this working!
