AFAIK, behind the four slots there is an interior temperature sensor which
has its own diagnostic channel in the climate control unit. So whatever this
auto-close sunroof thing is, it must be temperature related. I have a
feeling that this  particular sensor is malfunctioning and maybe there is a
feature where if the ambient temp of the interior gets too high, it
automaticaly cracks the roof open? I don't know.

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?
