I was assuming the control was the same as the B5 - turn one way to slide, the other to tilt. I'm sure my 99 was like that, but I may be mistaken. Never even occurred to me to push it.

I'll get my coat...

Yeah, cos then it would be really embarassing!

In my defence, I spend more time fixing mine than driving it!

My B5 was the same as the D2, but then it had "pre-select" which may make the difference, perhaps your B5 didn't have that option...

I usually prefer to tilt just to let a little breeze in but do sometimes open it fully, not often though as I'm normally using the air-con.

yet another here who wondered why the roof didn't tilt !!!!

yesterday was at the kini and my wife sat in the car reading ; as it was steaming hot she parked under a tree ,opened all windows and the roof ; when ~I got back I demonstrated the tilt feature and she was duly impressed , just like our 3000S capri she said

as I had to go out early this AM I left the car out in the level courtyard , and as a storm was forecast remembered to shut everything !good job , thunder/lightning/torrential rain in the evening [no satellite TV ]

started up this AM , slid back the roof , pint of water on my head !!!
never had a leak before....any thoughts on why ?
