This Thread is already some years old but maybe somebody could give me a idea before i take it to the shop. The pano roof had worked proper but now suddenly the draft deflector doesnt move at all. It isnt closed completely, stays some mm higher than it should be when its closed. I try the learning process and everything what is written in the manual.
Nothing helps to make the deflector even moving. It is stuck in this position. If someone has a idea what i could try, will be glad. Thank you

717, congrats on the self-repair. I admit I hardly use mine. I, as well as plenty of others, get a small squeak around the wind deflector when closed. I've tried lubing it all, including Silicone grease on all of the seals, and felt pads under the headliner. It is an old thread but you might try a PM to 717 as it sounds like he fixed his without having to take it to the dealer.

Hey ekstroemt I realized that after I had disassembled some of it that I didn't actually fix anything. Im almost certain that the problem was a rubber seal on the front of the sunroof underneath the front wind deflector had come unglued on the end and bent which was keeping the wind deflector from closing sometimes. Check to see if that rubber seal is bent on yours.

Thank you for giving me this information. If you agree, i would like to contact you again by email to ask you about details. Thank you again

I have exactly the same issue, I removed the 1st pane but the deflector is jammed solid and will not move even when using the manual operation. I can't see what is causing it to jam is there a way of removing the deflector is this what you did?

Looking at a Cayenne at the moment that has identical symptoms to Boeing 717's during the original post.

Is there any more information on this?

More info on the car I'm looking at will follow, but this is a pretty big big one in my case... so if this is a complicated or expensive issue, I may look for another one. Most other things on the car are in good shape. PPI later this week.

Mine is also getting this small squeak, any known cures yet? I've also tried silicone, then talc powder without success.

This is typical of most pano roofs. I too tried everything and my better half finally rolled up a travel magazine and stuffed it up there and voila, no more squeak! It looks completely cheesy and I have to re-roll the magazine once in a while, but no more noise.

I am going to grab a piece of high-density foam and try that route, but I am not optimistic. Despite that, and the fact that it occasionally gets stuck, I really love the Pano roof!

Bumping this one up to see if anyone has found any solutions besides 717's for this. After chiming in how mine worked great, it is suddenly not. The first pane pops up for a second but then seems to get stuck and come right back down. I can open the last pane just fine and the front wind deflector is not popping up so maybe that is the culprit.

Eventually will take it apart, but need to get my 951s on the road again so I have a back up in case I can't get it back together in time to use it.

Yet another issue with my PIG, but it has not shaken the love I have for it!

TomF

Use the reset procedure outlined in an other thread here. It is also possible that the seals have stuck together. This happens frequently when the seals are not lubricated regularly with a high-grade silicone product. Sometimes very "gently" pushing up on the errant pane will help unstick the seals, but do so at your own risk!

Hope you find a solution.

Cheers,
TomF

I had a similar issue to the original poster. The dealer just had to adjust the tracks as they had shifted for some reason and were binding up of angled medial towards the inside the car which caused the motor to strain and not allow the front window and deflector to close so afterwards it works fine and hasn't been an issue since. Figured I would add my experience if it possibly could help someone.

When the OP took his system apart and then back together maybe the tracks sat back in the correct spot with the removal and install... IDK but who knows.

Best of luck!

Thank you both.

I did the reset bit, which is how I got the last panel moving again which wasn't when this happened. Also tried pushing up on it to help but didn't want to push too hard. I might try to find an indy shop that is familiar with it.

The dealer took an hour or less to fix (my problem was simple) but I would be cautious with taking it to an indy due the lack of Pano roof models out there. I would be fearful the indy would charge for time to fix which most of it would be them figuring out how to fix and how the system works which you would be paying for. May make sense with this one for the dealer to look at it... Best of luck!

Dealer adjusted it as well which solved the issue. Prior to that they had to change the control panel ecu that controls the panoroof because it wasn't doing when you move the dial adjustment. Mike

This is a old post but i would like to ask a related question.
My pano is making problems from the very first day i have the car. 2 front Panels move but dont open.
This weekend i try to fix it with a manual mechanism and the special
key which is located under the arm rest-
Unfortunately someone before me was already working on this place and damaged
the screw. Picture left side / passenger side.
Somebody has an idea what i can do?
