Mine's been doing it for a couple of months now... No faults logged when the tech 2 was plugged in... Strange thing is that it seems to do it loads of times on oof journey and then be fine for ages!

Try a reset as the easiest cheapest fix first. Push in and hold at fully open, closed & tilt, and wait for movement to stop at each position.

As Andy B says, do a full reset (have you had to jump start recenty?), full open, tilt, close, and hold the switch in for a least 5 sec on each one.

May want to do all the windows as yer there.

had this on mine, but after dis connecting the battery, went to reset, after reconnection and it would not close the last 2 inches. had to disconnect the battery again to unset it/make it need re setting again. Then, after a couple of attempts, and a panic as it was raining by then, i reset in the open position first, THEN the closed and tilt position and all was well. Don't ask me why, no idea... :-/

Mine did that yesterday too, noticed the increase in road noise, checked all the windows then noticed the roof had just tilted slightly.

How strange its happened to so many of us..

This appears to be quite common! Mine does exactly the same. Driving along and it will open by itself. I call it an auto sunroof feature.  :)

Mine loses the end/mid point setting every now and then.

One touch is great until you leave the sunroof open overnight (in summer in the garage) and it won't close - just re-opens until manually held as per a reset.

I've never been aware of any fix for this.

Mine does it too. To be honest it's that intermittent (once or twice a month) that I didn't think it was worth the while trying to fault fine the problem.
