Default Sunroof will not close, need help!

Hi
The rear bit of the sunroof will not close, its tilted up ( I think its called vent). I have tried some things, like pressed up the button for some minutes, then everything else moves around but the rear glas is still the whole time), What can I do more, I´m affraid that its start rain. (I´m swedish so thats why my english isn´t so good.)

Remove plastic panel covering roof switch (s) there is a hexagonal (allen key) tool in the tool kit to move it manually.

It's a common problem.

You should be able to close it with the emergency winder - but it can be really stiff. You might be better using a hex socket. Be careful not to put too much force on it though.

Don't use the tilt function until you've had it fixed or it will jam again.

If you are very lucky you can clean and grease everything to make it work - but generally it needs a much more drastic repair.
