Panoramic Roof Gear Issues

Hi All,

I saw online someone posted that the reason the panoramic roof gear failures are due to a bad design with the motor and its shaft over time having its shaft sliding in and out causing the gear to lose contact which eventually causes the gears to grind and wear out. If true, does anyone have a fix for this as mine recently has begun skipping gears.

i also do see they make metal gear replacements as well. anyone have any reviews to replacing the gear versus the entire motor?

You can unbolt the motor and insert a washer which moves the gears closer together. Easy fix. Did mine a year ago. Here’s a video on how to do it.

any thoughts to the motor's internal gears pushing out of the motor? i've seen videos and photos of the back plate of the motor flexing and the internal motors kicking out causing the failure.
