The panoramic sunroof has started playing up on my 63 VRS. It opens fully ok, but when set to close the sunroof comes fully forward, then dips down at the front, then as the rear starts to come down to the closed position it stops around half way down then raises slightly. I can't see anything stopping the travel or anything that looks out of place. I can fully close it manually by tilting down the control knob to over ride the sensor, it then closes fully with no clangs or crashes, but I would like it to opperate normally. I have seen somewhere on the web that it is an easy fix (possibly a washer out of place) from what I remember. I asked at my local Skoda dealer today to see if I could speak to a mechanic, but they said there were none available. When asking the guy at the service counter he said he had not heard of the fault, and suggested it would need a complete new runner. A friend of mine thinks his mum had the same problem on her VW Golfs roof and it was fixed within 2 minutes at her dealer, but he did not know what the fault was.
