Sunroof Problem
can I automatically close the sun roof by one push? because it does that only while opening by pressing to the second detent but not while closing.
I contacted the dealer and he said it's normal, I don't think it is.. |

Nope. Express open only. Not closing.

Can't make it express close due to safety issues. Some yahoo could hit "express close" with his or someone else's stupid head out the sunroof and kill/injure themselves and cost GM millions. We have to be protected from ourselves you know.

Many cars out there have express closing moonroofs. My Accord, BMWs, Lexus, Acura, Mercedes, Porsche.... ALL of them have express close. They just have anti-pinching so when there's even the slightest bit of pressure against it while it closes it quickly stops and auto reverses. |

They make express close sunroofs all the time. My Honda civic SI had it, my Infiniti G37 Coupe and My Nissan Altima Coupe has it as well.

Might be able to find more info here, I noticed others were talking about this also.
Check out this thread too: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showth...hlight=sunroof |

In the other thread there are GM cars that have it. Maybe having the sensing for stopping and reversing adds cost and complexity and they didn't do that for the Camaro, or they just decided not to screw with it and cover their behind that way. They have had a lawsuit or two that got some notoriety lately so maybe they're just being cautious (a.k.a. gun shy). Also in the other thread the '17 owners manual say it does, but '17 owners say it doesn't. Strange. Last edited by MLL67RSSS; 08-30-2016 at 11:17 AM. |

As an Engineering Technician I'm familiar with how they work. Just trying to add a little humor and speculation as to why GM chose not to implement this feature. But thank you anyway
EDIT: And I do get that it may be as simple as the BCM monitors current and reverses it if it exceeds a certain limit, no real extra cost/sensors/wires. Last edited by MLL67RSSS; 08-31-2016 at 10:54 AM. |

I was thinking it might be because the Camaro moonroof slides above the roof, it makes it harder or maybe even not possible to make that floating track work while the panel is lifted and at an angle. Maybe it can only be done on panels that slide straight back into the roof? |
