Some Mini Cooper owners report experiencing issues with their sunroof being stuck and not closing properly, often due to motor problems that prevent the sunroof from moving as intended. Others have identified loose or disconnected cables as a common cause, which can leave the roof stuck in the open position. Additionally, some owners find that their sunroof may attempt to close but then reopen, indicating that it is sensing an obstruction, which prevents complete closure. For temporary solutions, some owners utilize the manual override feature to keep the panoramic roof shut until repairs can be made. DIY enthusiasts may try pressing and holding the open button to fully retract the sunroof as a potential fix. However, if the issue persists or appears complex, it is recommended that owners seek professional assistance to effectively diagnose and resolve the problem. Prompt attention to these issues is crucial to avoid further complications and ensure the sunroof functions properly.
