Hey guys,
Just picked up a 2008 S63 AMG with a standard sunroof (non-panoramic).
It all functions normally, however when in fully closed position the rear sinks in. I can correct it by manually raising the tilt slightly, so that it sits flush with the roof, but I do not want to continue relying on this method and want to resolve the issue.
I attempted to search this forum and google for some answers before making this post, however most of the results were for panoramic roof issues.
Had this on a 1 series coupe following a sunroof cassette replacement. Turns out the coupe and hatch roofs are a different shape and use different settings.
If you've had recent work done or the batteries have been off for a while, be worth double checking the coding in the roof motor/OCP as LWB/SWB/CL may well have different position settings. You may even find something in WIS for adjusting the closed position.
It could even be as simple as normalizing the motor. DAS/Xentry can guide you through this. Any codes in the OCP?

Appreciate the quick reply, unfortunately I do not have DAS/Xentry although I am looking into getting it. If I’m being honest it’s all a bit overwhelming with the multiplexers and different software versions, etc.
I will have someone with the software look into it, and report back with any findings or hopefully resolution.

Any ideas? Anyone with similar past experience?
Try resetting it. Hold the tilt button up until the roof completes a full open/close cycle and keep holding it for another 10 seconds after it closes. If that doesn't fix it, the cables are probably stretched and need professional adjustment.

Looks like you need to get the sunroof re calibrated if it does fully close manually. You can do it yourself in the car but that does not always work.
Id goto a shop or the dealer (yikes) and have them re code the sunroof. My car did this randomly one day as well. The re coding fixed it.
Good luck!
Good to know man, thank you.
I actually did try to recalibrate it myself by holding the button in tilt-up position for 10 seconds, etc but nothing happened. I also ran it through some calibration process on my Autel scanner, where it did go through its process, but did not resolve the sinking issue.
I’d imagine with Xentry it is different and will resolve it.
Hmm weird, that makes me think there is something mechanically wrong with the sunroof. Def get it checked out. I don't know what system my mechanic used to recode it but it certainly worked.
