Default one touch

after buying the GX, the salesman was showing me the features of the vehicle. he showed me that the sunroof had a one-touch button

he touched the slider switch just once and the sunroof opened up

not sure if it works also for the tilt feature though i have not tried it yet

no popping noise in mine

Question Sunroof Motor runs after opening

When I open my sunroof, it will open correctly...about 10 minutes into a drive I hear the motor run again for a second and then a couple minutes later it may do it again. Sounds like it is adjusting itself. It does not do it more than the first or second time after opening. Not a continuous motor running noise. The dealer did not hear the noise the first time and called me. I offered to go down and drive with the technician. Then they called back and said that the noise was on the Service Managers GX too and was normal.

Does anyone hear the motor run after the roof has been opened?? Help me out with your comments. THANKS

Default Motor sound.

PEK01 the sound you hear is the speed-adjusting wind deflector. It lowers itself maybe an inch when you hit about 60 mph, then raises again when you slow to around 45 mph. See if this is it. If you lightly keep your hand on top of the wind deflector, you should feel it lower with the motor sound, and then raise with the motor sound. Nothing wrong at all, just adjusting for higher/lower speed aerodynamics.

Thanks for the information on the speed adjusting sunroof. I will test that out. It eases my mind to know that it might just be that versus a "problem". Thanks. I will post the results of my test.

Default PBM was correct

The sunroof does indeed compensate for the speed by adjusting. You learn something new everyday! Thanks PBM for the information. I love this board! Learned a lot.
