Default Need help adjusting the sunroof...

The front edge of the sunroof is not flush with the roof, and I am getting nasty wind noise. In the rain it sounds like someone sucking water through their teeth.

Any way to easily adjust how the glass sits to bring it flush with the roofline?

TIA.

Default not 100% sure, but maybe give a shot at manually adjusting it?

the sunroof can be manually closed/opened with an allen wrench.

Default not flush up, or not flush down?

I dont know what to do in either situation, but It seems like that might be relevent information

It's too low, not lining up with the roof.

Default If memory serves...

you can pop the plastic trim out (open the roof in tilt, the trim just snaps in, be gentle it breaks easy, but at least is cheap) there is a slotted screw on either side that you can loosen and adjust the forward edge of the roof. This assumes of course that you roof has not jumped timing with respect to the motor, in which case you need to pull the motor, move the roof to the correct position, and reinstall. I have not done that on an A4 (just my old 5K), but I suspect that would be a pain as it looks like you would have to drop the ceiling. By the by this seems like a good reason to keep those tracks lubed.
