Here’s a brief overview of the sunroof features found on many VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat models.
Aesthetics
Composition
The panoramic sunroof has 2 windows: the front one is movable, the rear one fixed.
Functionality
The “batant” position
The movable window can be moved into the hinged position by pulling down the rotary knob.
It closes by pushing the same button upwards.
Opening / Closing
The movable window is opened by turning the rotary knob, and the window opening can be adjusted using the rotary knob, with the most open position being this one.
The “maintenance” position
Among the sunroof’s functions is a maintenance position allowing access to two screws that enable the rear window to be removed, which is essential for :
- Changing your panoramic sunroof blind.
- Unblock the water drain pipes on the panoramic sunroof.
- Change the water drain pipes on the panoramic sunroof.
Blackout blinds for sunroofs
The sunroof features a blackout sunblind to keep out the sun and rain in winter.
Opening / closing the blackout blind
The blind can be opened/closed entirely by pressing the open/close button (inlaid in the rotary knob) once.
To stop opening/closing, press the rotary knob again.
Air deflector
It features an air deflector equipped with a net (very practical if you don’t want to end up with a midge colony in the cabin).
