Annoying sunroof operation...

[sfeather11]

So I've always wondered (since I've had my Baja anyways), does anyone else with a sunroof have to "double clutch" the switch to get it to close all the way? If I hit the switch once, it will close about 2-3 inches and then stop. I then have to fully release the switch and hit it again to close it the rest of the way. What's up with that? Does anyone else have to do this? I'm assuming it is some subaru idiot-proof safety thing or something like that. I just find it stupid and annoying... Do other subies have the same "feature"?

Peace!

All the Subaru 's I have been in are the same. I guess they dont want any appendages lost.

Correct.

It's a safety feature, This way you have one chance to not get something caught in there by accident.


2 things I'd love, If it didn't do that and One Push Open too.

Hmm, I wonder if there is anyway to defeat that?

[tomato_88]

Probably just some kind of interrupt switch. I will have to find a diagram and look now.

it would probably be pretty easy to look on the tracks for either an indention or electrical connection halfway down.

It's actually a wind-buffeting thing - many sunroofs have a stop at about 3/4 open. On many cars, when the sunroof is open all the way, there is a wind-buffeting thing at higher speeds, over about 45-50 or so. It is sort of like a "whump-whump-whump." The stop is there so that you can close it to just the right spot when speed increases.

I do not believe any of that.

I think you just made that up.

Haha agreed! =P for me the two positions are loud and louder.
