[s-cars] Sunroof Stuck Open

[Peter Schulz]

Bob:

granted this is experience with the type B3/B4 and Type 44s, but the 
sunroof switch is subject to the same issues as the door switches.

I had a problem with my CQ where in opening and closing was 
intermittent...and finally would not close.
Finally troubleshot it to bent contacts in the switch,  While I was at it, 
I replaced the non functioning LED. Switch dis-assembles just like a window 
switch.

If the C4 is similar enough to the type 44, there should be a tool located 
under the cover for the sunroof switch that would allow you to manually 
close the sunroof.
