Hi all I am new here
I have problem with the moonroof on my 03 reg e320 I wonder if anyone can help
Right well I have not had the moonroof open for ages it’s not something I use
Very often
Anyway I dicided to open it the other day so I pressed the button the internal flap opened but the roof was a bit sticky so I freed it up with some wd40 and put some grecce in the track and it’s now working fine but the internal flap won’t close
I press the button but nothing happens can anyone help please

Many thanks Jason

Try closing it 1st manually with the special tool that normally comes with the car. And then try again, also check the fuses see if they are well placed!!

Have you tried programming the end stops? Open fully, then hold the button further open for ten seconds. Fully close and repeat the holding thing. Do the same at fully tilted.

Because the roof is panaramic and is one tinted sheet of glass that makes it a moonroof

What country are you in?

Moonroof is a USA thing. We have sunroofs or panoramic roofs.

Is Digger not a colloquialism for an Australian squaddie? Oz was approaching becoming the 53rd state of the union at one point importing those horrible shopping malls, fast food sh1te and have a nice day.

WD40 was not the best thing to spray about. Did you use a silicone grease? Is there a build up of dirt in the drain tube at the front sides that maybe preventing the wind deflector from bottoming properly
