Audi a4 sunroof stuck in the roof open and its raining

Sometimes the springs and guides shift or break. Pretty big job. Sometimes you need to replace the whole sunroof frame.

yes there are drain hoses on both the left and right side of the car they may be plugged

something wrong with sunroof swtich or relay problem

try first to use WD-40 spray to lubricate the guides and make the movement easy,may the motor not faulty.

open small cover on roof linning in front of sunroof, insert and crank 3mm allen key to close roof.

Use Compressed AIR to Unclog the Drains this is Common with Sunroofs

close manually using the roof key in the instruction manual. slot for key is found within the front light for further details check manual... PS i have a diiferent model hopefully info is universal

You can try cleaning and lubricating the runners. The sunroof will open as soon as it is obstructed, eg. A childs arm in the way of closing. The problem here is that you can hear the motor running, wich indicates a broken cable, or a stripped plastic gear.

Somewhere on the roof of the car, in front of the sunroof, you may have a small plastic square (my 99 A4 has this). Open that up and there's a screw-drive setup inside that you can turn to close it manually. If your car doesn't have that, it may be up underneath the map/dome lights on the headliner.

My Audi A4 has a manual crank spot under a flip cover just in front of the roof on the ceiling. If your roof is opening randomly, it may be just bent contacts for the switch (this is known on the A4). Remove the sunroof switch from the headliner, take the switch itself off the mount, and you'll see the contacts underneath. Bend them more vertical so they can contact the switch knob more easily, and try it out. This fixes the problem on the A4 and your Golf likely has a similar design.
