Car Forum / Audi Cars / March 2007Automatic sunroof
Oh dear my beloved 97 A4 Sedan has developed the automatic opening sunroof.........twice this week. Very strange to be motoring along and then vvvrrrrrrr followed by a rush of cold air. I have read reports about this and thought 'na, that will never happen the mine' Is it a switch problem or one of those 'unknown' intermittent faults that we must live with save tearing the whole car apart. regs dj > Oh dear my beloved 97 A4 Sedan has developed the automatic opening > sunroof.........twice this week.

It might be caused by warming ambient temperatures and increasing humidity causing changes in the contacts that may also have corroded a bit over the winter when they were not used much. Or it might just be the time that it came due. Should be a fairly easy fix. Try spraying the contacts with an electrical cleaner / protectant like CRC or DeOxit. > >>>>"Carsten Hjorth" <carstenfjernhjo...@yahoo.dk> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > Should be a fairly easy fix.

After soem amount of time, they begin the "ghost operation", and a little contact bending and Stabilant 22 usually fixes them right up. The switch itself is fairly robust, but the cover panel tabs are easily broken. You can epoxy them back on, but best to be careful to start with.
