Hi All,

I have the panoramic roof on my 2007 535d, if I dont use the sunroof for a couple of days abot a week or so when I open to stage one where the glass just lifts to let air in there is a loud pop as it just before the glas reaches it's final postion yet if I open and close it again the noise isn't there even the next day. Anyone throw any light on this?

Thanks

Does it have the plastic/fabric sides that accordion up and down? If so is it getting stuck and then popping?

It has the fabric but it in this position it only splits apart in the middle by about 2inches to let the air in, the fabric is ok.

Item #2 has caused a lot of problems. As the glass closed from the full open position it would bind and make a popping noise. Mine was repaired at the dealer.

Thanks for the info. Did yours make the noise all the time?

Every time I would close it I had to lift the deflector to clear the glass. That was from the full open not the up and vent position.
