Inside the motor is a disc. Strip and clean. Should solve it

[Christian]

These have not got anti pinch on them have they, because the cold may stiffen it up and make it think theres resistance (ie arm in way)

You tried lubing her up ?

I've often found on my sunroof that the internal control is a bit 'twitchy' - i.e. the sunroof will suddenly tilt open at any time, and if i nudge the knob a tiny fraction back to the closed position it will close.

I suppose I should strip down and clean the knob at some point, but that's the lowest item on my list of things that need attention.

I have been told by a pal of mine that works for vx  that this problem is normally an ecu fault on the sunroof motor.. The ecu is i think part of the motor and is very expensive to buy new, so try resetting the memory on it and hope that it does not do it again. I have had the same issues but just reset it and forget it, unless you have an ongoing problem.

Oh yes they do! Stick your head/hand in the way & it'll stop & wind back.... just like your windows.

It may very well be an ECU of sorts , but the all the electrickery is built into the motor unit .... I had one fitted to my Senator and it worked just like the Omega's.

I had this problem. To fix it take the interior light panel off (see the how to's) take the lid off the sunroof motor unit. you'll see a brown disc. take the disc off, clean it with wd40 & a rag 2-3 times. the last time you spray, dont wipe it, let it dry. reassemble & re programme it.

I've just seen this thread.

Came back from France las weekend in very cold weather and while the car was in the Eurotunnel the sunroof started tilting open and closed one or two notches.

The car was in Park with the ignition off but the key was in the slot.

I removed the key and the roof stayed shut and it has been fine since.

Sometimes I think these cars are just too complex for their own good.

It is a bit weird that this happened in the middle of the tunnel.

It was waving goodbye to mainland Europe where it originally came from!
