Problem overview

Some Volkswagen Touareg owners report experiencing issues with their sunroof being stuck open by 3 inches and failing to close, even after troubleshooting efforts. These problems may stem from inadequate lubrication on the sunroof track, which can hinder smooth operation. Additionally, owners have found that inspecting the motor and electrical connections is crucial, as electrical issues can prevent the sunroof from functioning properly. Some have also encountered difficulties with the lift arms, which can remain stuck in the open position, obstructing closure. Furthermore, blockages in the sunroof's drainage system have been noted as potential causes of operational failures. Lastly, some owners suggest that resetting the sunroof electrics by changing the battery may help resolve the issue. Addressing these concerns promptly can assist in restoring proper function to the sunroof.
