Troubleshooting  
If the sunroof is not closing

the driver’s or front passenger's door has not been opened.  
Once the ignition has been switched off and the sunroof button is pressed, the tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof will stop closing and remain where it is.  
If it is not possible to close the sunroof using the power controls, the sunroof must be closed manually. Some vehicle components must be removed in order to  
close the sunroof manually. Contact a suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting your Volkswagen dealership.
