Default S8 D2 glass sunroof adjustment??

Hello all

The rear of my glass sunroof is sitting low - ie not flush with the roof - any idea if it can be adjusted to fit properly flush
It opens and closes ok - but have had a small leak and this and blocked drains may not have helped, so hope there is away to make it fit better!

Thanks

Mark

Yes it can. I'll dig out the reference which is in the Tech Dump.

Exactly. The requirement to have the leading edge ~0-1mm below and the trailing edge ~0-1mm above the roof level requires the outside person to hold the sunroof in place /check the levels as the person inside tightens the screws.

Open the sunroof about half way. Pop the 2 plastic clips at the front and then push the headlining backwards.
