Pan roof blind

[Steviestod]

I would like have the Pan roof blind open as a default, rather than the present default of closed, which requires me to open it before every journey. Any suggestions?

Surely it starts from the position where you'd previously left it at?

[silver1011]

Are you suggesting the blind closes by itself after every journey?

...???? mine always stays were I leave it ???

Strangely, if I lock the car whilst it is parked in garage the next morning blind is closed, if left unlocked this doesn't happen. I do find it mildly annoying that it also starts to close when you hold the fob button to fold the mirrors. This is all possibly explained in the handbook but my eyes start to glaze over when reading that!

Maybe the OP is holding the fob lock button for too long?

Its in the handbook, the blind closes automatically ... triggered by low temperatures.

I have left mine out in the snow last year and it never closed

To stop the sun blind and windows closing deselect "Rain Closing" in the Maxidot menu.

If selected it will close the windows and sunroof/blind if it rains or after 12 hours.

Thanks for all the responses. Yes, it did close itself often but all has been explained. I was holding the lock button down for longer than needed, to activate the folding mirrors, which also may have contributed??  Thanks to two replies I now have a permanently open blind to let the light in and just use the closed position in very bright sunshine. Another pan roof related thread warned about leaks and water ingress. My only other related experience was with my previous car, a Toyota RAV4, which I recently changed for the Yeti. It was my only Japanese car to date, was very well built, and at 12 years old when changed had never leaked through the sunroof. I will be delighted if the Yeti can match that :-)
