My front screen for panorama roof doesn't close all the way in, leaving about 1/3 inch of gap, but the rear does close all the way and leave no gap. Is this normal?

FRONT





REAR

I had the same thing, dealer said it was normal. Except it isnt!

What I did; opened the 'curtains' half way. Then you see the slider rail and clips that hold it in place. I saw mine were slid back from their original place. Adjusted them by hand, they close 100% again!

Just open 'm half way, and look at it with some common sense...you'll see!

Hope it helps!

Thanks a lot, let me try it tonight.

By the way, has anyone noticed that we don't have the child safety locks on both rear doors? Just a square hole!

My pano roof does the same thing.

I was able to slip it back in as earlier discussed, but it fails to stay in place after a single open/close cycle. I complained to my dealer, but they said this is 'normal' which I don't believe.

Not sure if anyone else has this issue as well, or if there is a TSB for this fix.

I did it myself. Good thing that your dealer offers to fix it for you.

Mine still stays in place after I fixed it myself, at least until now.

I have the same problem but the "fix" is only temporary on mine.
