A4 Sunroof Malfunctions

["Patel, Karteek" <kpatel@visa.com>]

I had a chance to have a chat with my great Audi service mgr. at Rector
Motors (Burlingame, CA) yesterday before picking up my A4.  We were
discussing general quirks about the 2.8 (1450 rpm vibration, 3000 rpm
whine/whistle, etc.)...all which are common complaints by his customers.
 

He asked if I had any other problems (like static radio reception,
B-pillar rattle, etc) and told me to be on the look-out for what seems
to be an electrical problem (uh-oh).  

He has seen several A4 come through his shop with malfunctioning
sunroofs.  The worst cases include sunroofs that decided to tilt up
while sliding back and one where the roof decided to slide back while
tilting up.  I am not sure if this could be caused through human error
or if it's even mechanically feasible.

Anyone heard of similar problems?
