Hello all, I have been lurking and searching on here for a while while I searched for the right E60 to replace my 2000 E39... This weekend I picked up a beautiful 2005 545i Sport... I am loving it so far, what a great car...
Anyway, there is one issue that needs to be fixed and I can't find anything here on it...
If I open the moonroof all the way and then go to close it, it hits the windscreen and opens back to 1/2 way. I reinitialized the moonroof per instructions on these forums but it still does not close. I can get it to close by holding the windscreen down as the glass slides closed, but this is annoying...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Theres a SIB out on this - has to do with the closing mechanism of the moonroof. Your dealer should be able to fix if your warranty is still in effect...

Had the same problem with mine, the dealer will fix it under warranty.
They replaced the front windsreen part on my car.

If it's under warranty, get it seen to by the dealer ASAP!

What exactly do you mean by "cycle"?
Open it ALL the way back....then CLOSE it completely. Mine only seems to happen when I open the roof half way.
