Sunroof doesn't retract unless button held
Just got a new MCS 2010 (love it!) but unlike my 2004 I have to hold the sunroof button open or shut to move the sunroof, I can't just push it all the way in and get it to move by itself to fully opened/closed position. I'm guessing it might be a setting in my dash - anyone know how to change that?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Outmotoring sells the aftermarket module if you want to give it a try. I think everyone who has done it has reported success.

Funny to see how folks are different. I have a 13 and somehow my sunroof did have the one touch, but I hated it because I mainly like to have it cracked or titled and didn't like it going full open all the time.
But my mechanic went in and changed a code from his module and changed it from the one touch to open to hold to open. However soon after he did it, he was like if you continue to open and close the roof, that i'll be seeing him soon again to have new sunroof rail tracks put in. He told me the mini sunroof is the most flawed mechanism he's ever seen, and one the most problematic things needing repair. So time your use on when you really need to have it open, because it seems like your days will be numbered till you'll need a fix.

The problem isn’t exactly the sunroof it’s how tight of a seal they make. When the temps rise the sunroof expands and causes strain on the motors and causes it to jump the track. At 160,000 my sunroof still opens just fine. Just need to give it s hump when the temps are hot.

From my understanding its a pretty common issue with BMWs. I wouldn't be surprised if thats the reason they didn't include the one touch sunroof on the 2nd gen cars like on the R53s. I know with my MCS any temps over 85 and sunny and sometimes i have to give my sunroof a little help to start moving.
