Default A4 Sunroof has a mind of its own???
My dad's 1.9TDi 98 A4 ocasionaly takes on a life of it's own and opens the sunroof, usualy just to a tilt, however when you attempt to close the sunroof it opens all the way? seems a little odd, if you then get out the car and lock the doors holding the key all the windows and the sunroof close corectly

any ideas?????

TIA

I see someone post this on a monthly basis, and yes, the sunroof on A4's has a mind of its own

Not if you clean it.. Try my tech article, see if it fixes your problem.
