Failing Sunroof on Avant

[DeanG]

My sunroof seems to be struggling to close, it's beginning to judder and make clicking noises. I sprayed some GT85 onto the runners, but that did not help. I would imagine it's just been a lack of use. I am almost too afraid to open it again, in case I can't close it. Any ideas?

It could be corrosion buildup on the cable guides.

I had the same issue here

Mine has a problem where it just won't tilt anymore. Gave up on it actually don't know where to look

[irishs2]

Does it make the motion towards tilting, and does it jam on the way? Or does it not even begin the movement of tilting?

Based on that it doesn't look like there any quick fixes then, unless I can squirt some gt85 down one of those guides.

It does try to tilt but stops like it is getting stuck
