Sunroof does some odd stuff:
1. Often makes a loud clunk a few seconds after closing.
2. Drew the roof panel out of sight yesterday when I opened it. Luckily when I closed it it came back out of the roof liner.
3. Did the tilt open yesterday, when moving the switch forward to close the roof, it would lower then pop back up, did this about 8 x's before finally closing. I did turn the car off, then back on in an attempt to possibly reset the switch...didn't work.
Anyone have similiar issues? Bringing to the dealer soon I hope to get it looked at.

1.) Few other had problems with this... they need to ajdust the rail alignment or something I believe... some actually got their whole sunroof replaced but that was excessive... I'm pretty sure its just an alignment issue.
2.) Dont know.
3.) Try re-initializing it again.

I think I have the opposite problem - something is too loose in mine. It sounds like the cable or something is slapping against the panel - every time I hit a bump I get a tapping right above my head. I'm wondering if overtightening creates the issues being reported in threads like this one.

As for problem 2, is not a problem is suppose to do that, you wouldn't close the panel with your roof open right plus is impossible to do that anyways. The panel retracts to give you the maximum amount of open roof space.
