Has anyone had odd goings on with their electric sunroof?
I was driving along the other day and all of a sudden the sunroof tilted open, then about ten seconds later closed again! Have i got a ghost??? Ive tried doing the relearn sequence but this has made no difference and has done this strange behaviour several times now.
Any ideas? I could accept a shorting connection but that wouldnt close it again surely?

clean the sunroof internals and change the bulb, this will solve your problem..

Several posts and a "How to" are available as per previous reply....above Welcome to the world of Omega's.

It might solve the problem. If it doesn't, swap the ecu/board out with another.
...and yes, good job I had baige leather seats first time mine did it on the motorway. Bloody hell! ;D

has any one had it going through a automatic car wash?

The first time mine did it, it was pretty warm in the car and I had the AC on ECO .. I did actually wonder if the car was smart enough to do that.
Sadly, no. ;D

Being a facelift MV6 my car has the best type of sunroof available. The type that gives me a couple of inches extra headroom and never opens when I least expect it. To open it at all requires a tin opener, in fact. ;D
I lose the option of driving along getting my ears buffeted to kingdom come, though. Shucks, how do I rectify that? ::)

I have a 4" grinder here, I'm sure we can rectify that, Kevin ;)

My elite has the optional extra pack ...
Full matching leather umbrella :'(

Thanks all, ill try the cleaning/bulb change recommendation when I get the car back - it chewed up it aux belt last night and I ended up being towed to my local garage by Mr AA man!

there is also the option of pulling the plug on it once closed, know it wont do it again then

You only have to change it if it's blown :y (Rob - author of the guide - confirmed as much in another recent thread)
