Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Or is a labor intensive, multi-hour disassembly of the sunroof to replace expensive parts?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have noticed the rear edge of my sunroof ('02 996) does not do that last little rise when closed to seal with the roof, i.e. the rear is down slightly and not level with the roof. It actually lets water leak in.....just like a British car. Is this a common problem on 996's (never had any issues with my 993 sunroof) and is there a simple fix? Or is a labor intensive, multi-hour disassembly of the sunroof to replace expensive parts? Cheers.

POST 2Original post

Try opening it all the way and holding the button for I think 10 seconds or so, then closing it and doing the same with the button. The switch sometimes gets Alzheimers, and this may reset it.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

^^^ Thanks Mike! That did it. I had been just pushing the button once and letting the roof close on its own. I love fixes that are simply due to operator error.
