Sunroof - general information and component renewal

Bodywork and fittings / Sunroof - general information and component renewal

1 The sunroof can be taken out completely as follows. Turn the rotary knob anti-clockwise half a turn to release the tension.

2 Press the two release buttons on the knob housing, then lift the rear of the sunroof and move it rearwards from the front hinges. Stow the sunroof safely in the luggage compartment.

3 Due to the complexity of the sunroof mechanism, considerable expertise is needed to repair, replace or adjust the sunroof components successfully. Removal of the roof first requires the headlining to be removed, which is a complex and tedious operation, and is not a task to be undertaken lightly.

Therefore, any problems with the sunroof should be referred to a VW dealer.
