    Sunroof sliding door

    Is anyone else having a problem with the sliding door on the sunroof? Whenever I take off or stop suddenly, the door slides open or closed. Any ideas would be helpful....

    If you're under warranty, go to the dealer, they'll adjust it. It takes like 5 minutes.

    I have that problem also, and when I went to my sucky dealer they said the tension is right and that's how it's supposed to be

    It's a complain on Carpoint too...thankfully my car doesn't have this problem. Supposed to be my arse...how many cars with moonroofs have a sliding door that slides during driving...

    all you need to do is LIGHTLY pinch the aluminum track it rides in.

    VERY lightly.

    anywhere will work..but somewhere close to the front on both sides (maybe an inch back or so) and the same in the rear (an inch or so from the back)...that will make sure that when its all the way closed, it stays that way, and when its all the way open, it stays there too...just pinch enough so that the track puts pressure on the edge of the sunroof....you dont want to grush the edges...
