Retrofit: auto-close sunroof button into pano?
Any reason the regular sunroof button with the auto-close feature can't be fitted to a pano roof?

And if I'm a rebel and not concerned with safety? I honestly can't see any difference in safety between either roof...

what year do you have? in 2005 they changed the pano roof system, and I believe they added auto close to it.

I'll have to look into that...but I'd assume they have to be. They look the same but there's a definite difference with the extra click for auto close.

I have an '06 Pano...and I can tell you it does NOT have auto-close. Hence I've been closely watching this thread

(Technically, there is ONLY 1 way to auto-close it - Hold down the recirculate/max ac button for 1 second - which will auto close all windows & pano - BUT that's not the answer for this)

I was hoping one of the retrofit gurus had tried or at least looked into this. If no one has any info I'll give it a shot in the next few weeks. I've got a regular sunroof as well as a pano roof E55 so I'll just see if the buttons are interchangeable.
