Good to see you back.

As for the pano roof, very common problem and certainly an easy fix that involves permanently disabling the rear section (might be one of the links Sanj posted). Front section you can use to your hearts content then with no problems.

Hello strangers been a while.
Though I would rear my ugly mug and pose a question to you guys.

After a brief scan at the boards I see some of the old faces are still around  :) and also Sanj is still doing all Jigs work for him....and still moaning about it lmfao.
My post count is still in the top ten I notice  :o and hope my old how too's are still helping out.

Anyway lads/lasses I have a problem with a pano roof on an e53 (not mine I must add  :( it's a customer of mine and being just about the only thing I haven't taken apart off the x5 lol I said I would ask on here for him)
His rear roof section (small piece) will not go down causing the main roof section to raise back up when lowered. I Have checked the fuse board for him and swapped them over but didn't have any joy.
The front piece will operate on the button but returns to open and will not stay shut also the blind still operates forward and backwards.
Any help on this would be much appreciated guys.
I know there was a big thread started on this a few years back one of the fellas bought the parts and did a self fix but I can't find much info on here i'm guessing it must have been on the old forum  :(

I had the same problem on mine. I did find a repair kit but didn't want to remove the cassette so went with the permanent fix. Below is a copy of the fix I got from another site, just can't remember which. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply's and links fella's  :ok:
I'll take a look for him tomorrow and see if I can help him out. Though he may be a bit weary if I whip out the hack saw and dremmel tool on his x5 sunroof  :o  :rofl:
