Fart sensor? Not in my car. No need for that.
 
I mean, if it *were* a fart sensor, *all* the windows would open too :)

My 93 S4 also does this while the switch is in the closed position. It will
tilt one notch open for no apparent reason.  I find that if you put your
thumb over the 4 slots aft of the switch, the sunroof will close and
everything seems to be ok again.  I am assuming that these slots are some
kind of sensor that opens the roof when it detects something in the air
inside the car.  Maybe it is a fart sensor and the car is trying to clear
the air to make driving more pleasurable.  All kidding aside, I can see this
on a Lexus but not on a German car.  So does anyone know the reason for this
feature?

My car does something slightly different. Every so often, the sunroof opens

itself while I'm driving, always to the tilt position. 



Scared the *CRAP* out of my wife the other day as we were moving smartly

along the Mass Turnpike. The sudden increase in windnoise really threw her

for a loop.



I figure it's just a ghost in the machine and at some point I'll swap out

switches. I've got a spare panel from a later A6 that I want to put in, but

first I'll have to clean it up a bit and install the remote button for my

garage door opener (just a simple momentary switch connected to the leads

inside the garage remote stored up in the headliner).



Also, btw, this talk about batteries...I think I'll pick up a new Optima in

the fall as I think I'm still on the original battery...
