Thank you so much. My mechanic said he didn't have the tools to do this fix. I think I'll send him a flat head screwdriver!
😂
As a total layman when it comes to car repair, I would never have expected to be able to repair anything in my car just by watching a
Awesome stuff. It worked on my x3. The dealer wanted between $2900 to 4000 to fix mines.
I can't express enough positive things to say about this simple fix, roof closed in 2 minutes after wasting hours. Thanks and wish you the best !!!

Thank you for sharing. I was having a panic attack just thinking of how much it would cost to fix. I fixed the roof following your video. The only problem I had was the clips that hold the panel broke so now I have a tape holding the panel where the motor is. Thanks anyway. You a a life saver
THANK YOU MAN YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!! It's so nice to see somebody taking the time to help another person by creating a video that saves me money thank you so much man you're incredible
This video saved me 4000. We did everything except open up the panel and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for your help. I was so worried about spending that money for a new rotar and cassette, I think I'm saying it right. Your the best.
Thank you sir. I looked on every channel to try and fix my roof and nobody I mean nobody had a real fix except for you. Great job I am now a subscriber to you channel. Thank you once again.
After the air conditioning has "quit" me just in time before my summer vacation and after checking in the air conditioning workshop it was clear that it is the evaporator, which must be new (sits in the air conditioning box, for which the entire (!) Dashboard must be removed, was now certain - I must fix at least NOW my also since purchase identically sticking panoramic roof. For the climate calls my workshop around the 2,500 euros - that must wait. Panorama roof repair would also be around the 900-1,200 euros in the best case, a new complete cassette would cost around the 3,000 euros. YOUR video practically saves me the vacation, especially since it seems as if the whole thing would be within an hour (?) already clarified?! I could "kiss" you, my unknown friend! Best E61 fix ever! Thick THANK YOU!
Had my first problem with the roof today but managed to get it closed without doing this, as I can see this may lead to another problem was great to watch your video in case things get more serious !! Thanks very much indeed.
Great job with this (and what a pleasant voice you have)! After my next cup of coffee, I'm going to tackle this on my '05 BMW X3. Suddenly, the back tilt panel won't close and I think you'll be my hero!

Thank you for making this video. My 2004 X3 had the problem for a month and it rained yesterday. It's a mess and I wanted to pay the dealer to fix it. Your video helped me fix it in 10 minutes.
You're a master - thanks for saving our Xmas holidays - no one was happy to help and ur video saved our day.
Haven't actually done the fix yet, but I'm heading out to do it right now. Well documented, clear and thorough.
i CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS INFORMATION! I WAS NEARLY AT THE POINT OF TAKING AN AX TO MY X3 OVER THIS ISSUE. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Thank you sir it worked for my 2004 x3 3.0i. I followed your both part 1 & 2 videos and fixed the problem completely of the rear glass. Now I can enjoy the features except rear glass exhaust.
Exactly what I needed. You saved me lots of money and anxiety. Sent you some paypal $ in appreciation, and I encourage others to do so as well.
you were sent from heaven , its raining in my town and I need to close the rear glass .. what a great video, thanks for posting..
What an absolute legend!!! The anxiety was real, as I know the dealer would’ve charged a fortune to even look at it!! Genuinely appreciate your help & glad you took the time to form 1 of the best tutorials. (Berkshire, UK)
This guy save me $2500 parts and labor on my BMW X3 same problem he had it works...
Thank you.
Thanks so much for this. I've got an 2004 x5 with almost the same problem. After watching your video, went out to my car with a hammer and screwdriver and... voila... I fixed the sunroof. I thought I was going to have a $500 bill on my hands. Instead, I fixed it myself in 5 minutes. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
thanks ...this helped a lot after my dealer told me it will cost over $1000... i did it in 20 mins ... good stuff!!!
Thank you so much for posting this video! Your saved my E61 from a very wet Scottish autumn.
Thanks a bunch for the help!!!!
My local dealer wanted $3,000 for this job...
Hi Thanks for the video it helped me a lot, the easy way to do the job is at the 3 minuet mark of the video if you press the button to make the roof go down then turn the key of the car off at that time it stays down if you do this just as it hits the back glass then continue at the 5 min mark
You just saved me a lot of money and hassle! The garage said the whole roof needs to be taken off and I would need to leave the car with them. Many thanks
Thank you...had to do it twice though. Some wacky thing happened after I did it the first time. I pushed the button forward to align it and the big window slid all the way back and rested under the small one. I had no idea our sunroof would do that. Did get it fixed in the end. Thanks again.
Thank you brother. I was able to fix mine. I was worried to pay a lot of money to change the motors. You rocked.
I know it is an old post but it recently helped me a lot and i want to share an advice. The video is great and comprehensive but i think it should be mentioned that is important to bring the front panel all the way down first, either manualy with the hex key or by short presses on the button. If you don't bring the panel down first, the mechanism in the back will be locked and won't move.
Thanks so much for making this it's people like you who make the internet what a great thing it is!! Cheers from London!!!
Great video. Fixed my sunroof in minutes. I was surprised to learn BMW has been using this sunroof in the X3 since it made its first debut in 2004.
WOW! I was just about to go tape the sunroof up. When I said to myself check youtube and there your video was saved me from tapping up my x3 thx many times over.
Thanks for taking the time to do your Beemer sunroof videos. Hope my new car (second hand) doesn't suffer the usual issues but at least I'll know what to do to fix it. thanks.
I got an x3 and had exact the same problem. Thanks for the video, saved me the $$ to take the car to an auto electrician.
Hey man a big big thank you from me ❤️❤️your video saved the day , I was so stressed with this problem and this just sorted it out , thanks a million from me 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧best wishes from Britain 😁😁
Awesome! Thank you from New Zealand. My sunroof was stuck open on the back right hand side. Did exactly as you showed and it worked. Cheers. Going to have a cold beer for you.
Roger (APPfordable APPs) you having a cold beer for me helps me how ;) glad it all worked out
i just brought a bmw x5 a mouth ago with out notice the small part of the sun roof was tilted , it was a private sell . anyway i just looked at your video and i manage to shut it after, i don't really know how long it's been like that , it's so rusted , so i just want to thank you for your video and your big help of shutting my sun roof
I found it difficult to open around the switches for access to panel so instead I tapped the close button little by little as I pushed the mechanisms back as far as it would let me...tapped some more for the main roof to close then finally everything closed. It opened on the first couple tries until I got really patient tapping the close button and doing the pushing on the back mechanisms for smaller window closure. I only had a screwdriver at the time. Went well. Thanks a million.
Excellent video. Same issue, troublesome small rear tilt panel was jammed open. I went through the reset process and heard a horrible crunch, both panels were jammed. For now both panels are in the rest position and the car should be water tight. Tomorrow I will look to see if I can get the main panel to work and the disconnect the troublesome rear. Many, many thanks
U gave the solution I was looking for and fixed temporarily... Hats off mate
Fantastic video, and if I can do it then anyone can. It solved the problem completely, and saved a fortune in garage fees. Legend!
This video saved me $3500. I am just stunned. How does one say “thank you for making it” that equals the significance of that? THANK YOU SO MUCH
My dad just bought an 05 X3 and this just happened. He eventually managed to wiggle it to the point the electrics shut the glass. I'm wondering if this is a matter of dirt and friction or a faulty mechanism. I'm going to investigate more and if needed do your fix on the other video. Thanks so much for taking time to make this guide 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the second time! You have officially saved me $310. It costs $155US to have the sunroof closed by the dealer. A friend and my son both opened it after already paying the dealership once to shut it since I am not paying $2997 to have it replaced. I have now placed black electrical tape over the button. Cheers
You can diconnect the wires from the motor, still the sunshade works and the glass part stays in one place with no wires. The warning in the dash shows allert, but you dont need a tape in the sealing :)
OMG! Thank you for this video. Instructions are detailed and easy to follow. I appreciate you.
Thank you so much watch this video and got my sunroof back to normal position right before the rain 🌧️ came. Can’t thank you enough great video
Absolutely the clearest, most useful instructions I have seen. Dank U Wel!
Dirk v. Hal
Thank you sir, all the way from South Africa. 🙏🏽
You just saved me $1000 US.
Your method worked exactly !
Thank you very much Sir!
For decades I'm a 5-series guy.
I was going to switch to an X3 or X5 because I liked the panoramic moonroof.
Having watched your video in my research for my next wheels, I now realized the double-panel feature is trouble prone.
Yes, I'm handy and mechanically inclined; but I've also become lazy in my pre-retirement years and just don't wanna deal with it to begin with.
I think I should stick with single-panel deals.
Real man that knows how to deal with a such thing. God bless you!!!
Tx for all info. I've could save 3-4K thanks to your video. Greetings from Spain!!!
Thank you soo much for this helpful video!! We were able to follow along exactly and it fixed our problem, such helpful clear instructions when before watching we didn't know where to begin, thanks a ton!!
Thank you so much. It's 6 degrees here and I've been outside for an hour trying to figure this out.
You save my life and my family ! Thank you so much !
Thanks for posting these videos (Part 1/2). Worked like a charm.
fantastic, just got car and 1st time i try roof it gets stuck , did this and all working great. dont get that much sun in the UK but nice to open and close the roof when dee rain comes down.
This video helped me out a ton. I just got an 07 x3 today and this exact thing happened. Your technique worked like a charm. You saved my interior from rain leaking in. Thanks!!
I watched this video and went out to my x3 and did it . It really worked thank u 👍🏾😍👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you for the clear instruction! really saved me so much pain for booking and going to the dealership!
Glad I could help you save 3k, I wasn't so lucky
This totally worked for me. Thank you so much! You gotta love You Tube!!!
Ah. Mazing! Can't wait to try it out on my stuck moonroof and save some major money. Thx for the hack!
You just safed me in the middle of the night in poring rain! Thanks!!!!!🎉
I thought I broke my sister in laws BMW sunroof and had to shell out 3-4k, until she told me about your video. This took 5 minutes including getting the wrench from the tool box. FANTASTIC!!!!!! Thank You!
I know this video is now 8 years old, but thanks a lot. This helped me out massively today 👍
Major thanks man! No mechanic within an hour and a half would even look at the damn thing.
This was great - worked like a charm on my '05 X5. My dealer was asking $4000USD to fix the panoramic roof. Did it myself last night after watching your video. Now everything works except the vent function. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Your fix worked like a charm!!
There is a way to close the sunroof with the button. Dont push it all the way forward. just tap it forward a few times and the roof will come down a little bit. then you can push it all the way and it will close works every time
Great video for an instant / emergency fix. I found out that if you try to close the roof and switch off ignition/contact just as the front roof goes down (=before it automatically goes back up), you don't have to manually 'turn' it down.
Fully agree! Helps me an emergency. Thank you very much.
thank you so much!! this was so easy and saved me the hassle of going to my mechanic!!
You just saved my sunday, got the back roof closed thanks to your video! Donation on the way
Thank you sir!! Glad it helped :)
lol did u used to work for bmw and got fired for doing things like this? ur awesome! it worked! it was a nice cool day and i opened the vent, then it started to rain :(! Thank you. its finally closed
Great video, easy understandable, and perfect camera holding... Thanks
Thank you for this video. I am having an interior water leak in my 2005 x3 and would like to know if you could make a video on how to clean the out the drains located on the roof and underneath the vehicle? This would so helpful to me.
Thanks for the awesome video. Fixed my stuck moon roof in less than 10 minutes. Had a question concerning the sunroof shade that will not close. It is the second half that covers the moon roof. Any manual fixes please. Thanks. Again excellent video.
Wow thank you this video was very clear awesome views and it helped me close that dang sunroof what a pain thank you again
Nice job. clearly explained. Have you ever tried to apply some lubrication (dry lube) to the rear slides?
This is EXACTLY what I needed, before I went and made things worse. I managed to slide the front window over the back. This will fix the original problem though once I get that worked out.
Great video!! Really helped! Just watched it and fixed my mom's 2005 x3. Thanks a bunch!
Very nice! Thanks, you are a very good person! for 3 months i have the roof open.
Thank you!!! This saved the day!! My E70 got stuck open in vent mode, and I used this to get it closed. Unfortunately I now have the Sunroof anti-trap warning.. if you have a fix for that, please let me know!!
Thanks for the easy video. This just happened to my X3 today.
Kevin Percy Same with my X3. Damn thing.....
Thanks a lot mate! This will hopefully help but in any way you showed it properly I liked that!
good video! but I found it much easier to slightly apply pressure to the top while closing it and it worked great!
Thanks a million
I just did Mine and it did close,
I did the reset and open and close fine
I love this video! I wonder if you couldn't have tried to grease up the moving parts and have fixed the rear portion without disabling it, though?
Thank you. Managed to get the roof closed before a major storm! 🙂
Thanks! You saved my day, and saved the roof from a cover of empty garbage bags and duct-tape!
Can't thank you enough for this video. We were able to get the large front sunroof portion to work, the back vent I believe is broken forever. It was great to get it closed for sure and also very happy the front portion still slides back and forth in its tracks.
Thank you amigo I did it to my daughter's car and you saved her some money thank you
Hello sir, thank you for this video. I still have a problem with my sunroof. I simply cannot make the roof go up or down with the hex key. It seems like it is jammed. I can lift it maybe 20 mm and then no matter how hard i turn the key it won't move. Do you have any idea why?
Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I have this problem on my car. What causes it and how to fix it so that the back part works again.
Thank you! Saved me tons of headache. Awesome clear video instruction.
Thank you very much .. Your fix work perfect and saved me over $2,000 US . You are the best
This awesome i am going to try it, i have 2014 BMW X5 F15 the rear small roof does not want to close, the front big roof closed well, also the only part i cant get easy is the control sunroof button inside the car X5 , i assume the motor is different i cant locate the motor
Thank you for this info to get my glass shut. Now how do I get the shade to close? Nothing happens when I push the button forward.
This helped me out a lot especially since it just started to rain
Awesome video. Gonna go back into garage to try this on my 07 cooper s.
Wow - this fix absolutely works. But a note to E53 owners. There are four small screws holding the cabin light panel in - unlike on the video here (which I think is E70). Do not try to lever this light/switch panel off, as in this video. Open the sunglass holder first (rear of the light/switch unit above your head) - you will see two tiny hex screws, 2-3mm. Undo these, it will come loose. Then gently lever out the forward light fitting from the main panel, and you will see the other two small hex screws. Undo these two, forward screw and the panel drops out easily. This then allows access to the sunroof motor. The rest of the procedure is exactly as per Homerrass's excellent video. What a brilliant fix - which has collectively probably saved all of us many thousands of dollars. As for my sunroof? After I got it closed, I disconnected the switch when re-installing the overhead light/switch panel and won't use it - or miss it - again. One day. I might effect the second stage of the fix which is to permanently disable the rear glass section. See Hommerrass excellent second video on this procedure. Donation on thre way. Many thanks again!
Richard Cunningham thank you kindly for your donation! I’ll enjoy a few beers this weekend :)
Nice work! The best video and info on this I have found. Thanks
