Question Squeeking breakes & panoroof not always closing

Squeeking brakes:

Had the same problem with my C. At low speeds & (even) without braking
there's a squeeking noise. it's worse when turning corners.
they never figured it out on my C, because (of course!) when i took it in,
they could not reproduce the problem...

Panoroof:

Also had this problem with my C:
Roof not always completely closing, or somethings closing & then opening
slightly again. seems to happen when it gets hot. problem disapears
when temps drop..

Anyone else has/had this?

Cool

knock on wood, my Pano roof has yet to have any problems. I also had my Tint shop put the darkest tint they had on the inside because it just let in to much sun and heat for me.

Have had no problems as you describe.

Re your pano roof problem - there is a reset procedure for this specific problem. Please check your manual. It may be listed under "Sun Roof" in the Opening and Closing section, if it's the same manual format as mine.

If it doesn't cure the problem, I would stay on the dealer until they get it right. No excuse for either of your issues.

Good luck.

it seems to reset at every startup... provided temps have dropped :-)
will tell them to fix it at my next service.
Same goes for the brakes (if it really is the brakes...) .
though it's very annoying, as you get the feeling you're driving a very old car :-)

Well summer is back once again bringing hot temps 30c+. And my pano roof ias acting up again. usually works fine, but somemtimes it closes only half & sometimes it closes than open up half again.

of course it never does it at the garage...

does anyone know of a fix that i can tell my dealer of?

several times i walked away from my car expecting the roof to be closed.. when it wasn't

I had this happen twice before I got my tint. The car was exceptionally hot and I assumed the car did this on purpose to allow heat to escape and reduce the load on the A/C. Since then, never been as hot and never had it happen.

i doubt very much that it's a feature. especially as it sometimes closes half
& sometimes closes & then opens again. makes no sense..?

Maybe, but after about five minutes of running the A/C in mine, it closed normally. Both times. Not proof, but definitely evidence.
