Thumbs up

I only have english not metric allen wrenches. Looks like 3/16 is the closest? Is this correct? Please double check my math and conversion

did you check to see if you have it in your trunk in the tool kit, underneath the first aid kit?

The sunroof allen wrench is right on the cover that you have to pop open to move the sunroof manually. If you don't have it there, your car's missing it.

Here's a link to the actual part


Couldn't find the specs and see what size it is though...

Here's a good link to see the whole break down: Sunroof

Could be, I suppose.

OP, take a look in your tool kit and see if the wrench is in there.

If not, just take a flathead screwdriver and carefully pop open the panel that houses the button for sunroof operation - see if the allen wrench is on the inside of that panel.
