Sunroof console (where the map lights are located) has a black screw you can turn with a coin. Located just beyond the map lights. Turn 1/4 turn and that panel releases. There is a manual handle that is snapped into the console towards the back left. It is not that big. It is black and "T" shaped. Insert that handle into the motor which is located directly beneath the panel. It is brass colored most likely. about the size of a deck of cards. The handle tip inserts there. Turn handle until stops and pull down to disengage the motor. You should then be able to operate the crank. I had same problem. Had a tough time closing roof. Works intermittently. Don't know if it is the motor or switch. I think motor as I hear mine trying to engage but it is no longer moving the roof panel. Good luck.

These instructions are contained in the manual.

SOURCE: BMW X 3 Panoramic sun roof initialization.

title says X5, but description says X3. i'll explain for an X5, but X3 with the pano should be the same. and i'll explain function of the roof, not reprogramming.

button is located on the panel at the top near the front & center windshield. its the switch on the far left on this panel. its a switch that not only toggles, but also slides forward & back.

with your finger in front of the button, slide it back & release. this will make the cover slide back and store revealing the sun roof. you know have 2 options (tilt the sunroof up or open the roof completely).

to tilt it up, press up on the rear of the button and release. the rear of both roofs will pop up. to close, push up and release the front of the button or slide the switch forward.

to slide it open completely, repeat what you did to open the protective cover (slide the switch from front to back). the roof will open completely and stow out of the way. to close, slide the switch forward and release. pano roof will now close.

to close the cover, slide the switch forward again.

neat trick: if you want to tilt the sunroof open without opening the protective cover, press up on the rear of the button (when the cover is closed) and release. the cover will separate in the middle exposing about a 2-3 inch mesh, then tilts the sunroof open. to close, push the button forward again.

also, if you are above a certain speed (can't remember what it is off hand) with the sunroof open or tilted, it will close automatically, then perform the neat trick on its own to keep air coming in.

one last trick: if you want to open the windows and sunroof from outside, press & hold the unlock button (forward button on the key) and you will see the windows go down, then the roof will open to vent. releasing the button will stop the motion of the windows & roof.

hope this answered what you were asking.

SOURCE: can't open a 2002 Mercedes c230 kompressor sun roof

It's typically the motors or the special drive tubes that it uses. If you here a clicking noise then the sunroof became to tight and ruined the motor gears. You can actually switch the two motors, one is for the shades and needs less power then the other motor. They are identical, switch them. Nex make sure they are very tight to the 3 mounting bolts, there is a rubber washer bushing that wears out and alloys the motor to flex too much, causing the gear mis-alignment and gear grinding. This works great I do it all the time.

SOURCE: Can not open my mini cooper roof all the way

Have you checked the parcel shelf is seated properly as there are micro switches beneath it so the car knows it will not jam the roof as it is lowered?

Sunroof not closing

You must dismount the sunroof glass, and then run the open an close operation until the cables are lined up. You will know when. Then install the glass back. Hopefully the plastic track is not broken.

What is leaking on the passenger side of 1997 range rover....

I have one of these, it did the same thing. I found the sun roof seal had gone hard ( due to the u.v from the sun ) and was not sealing properly.
Th drain hose from the cavity was blocked, the water ran down the door pillar and on to the fire wall and out behind the carpet.
Allso if the air conditioning condensation collector drain is blocked water will find its way the the carpet. the drain should empty to the ground.

1996 Range Rover SE Rear Brake Fluid Leaking right over passeenger side wheel. Computer states (low break fluid) all three brake lights are on. Peddel goes all the way to the end. Very low brake support...

Replace the wheel cylinder on the wheel where you see it leaking then bleed brake system you ought to be ok on your brakes. As for the sun roof sounds like part of the track system is stripped happens all the time on automatic shoulder belts you can hear the motor running but no movement.

My 96 Land Rover sun roof is stuck open...how can I close?

few different ways to close it, but the best way to do it would be to find the wires closer to the window itself, and give it an alternate power source, to at least get it shut, the you can trace the wires to find the short or broken lead
