Sky Lounge Panoramic roof query.

My 740 has the sky lounge piano roof.

When I lock the car the rear cover closes. But the front one stays open. I have to hold the lock button or keep my finger on the door handle to get the front to close.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I want the front to also close as soon as the rear one does. It helps keep the heat down in the car during sunny days.

I'm sure it did it previously and I haven't changed anything on the car.

Any ideas?

It's functioning as designed. When you lock the car, the rear shade closes, if the front is opened, it stays opened. You could hold the lock button on the remote to close the front shade.

Not sure if it can be coded. Maybe someone can chime in or mrgicm might know.

The front is part is acting then as a normal sunroof, you can either:

1. Hold the key fob to close it. ( code the delay needed to hold the key fob, or by holding your finger on the keyless go door handle.
2. Select the option in the Idrive Menu that the sunroof closes automaticly in 6-8 hours. If you dont have that option it can be coded. Not sure if the time frame can be changed. I have to check.
3. Code it that closes if it detects rain, but I found that option doesnt work properly and gave me trouble so I coded it out.

Thank you for the replies.

I must have dreamt it closed itself before.

I was reading through the owners manual again last night and found it said it just closes the rear sunshade.

Bit annoying for my OCD that you can't have it close straight away. But I suppose BMW know best.

Thanks

Carl

I have question about the rear. Every time I get in the car the rear pano opens. I then close it and drive away. When I park the car and the car turns off the rear pano opens again. When I lock the car it then closes. How do I prevent the rear from auto magically opening

Did you ever figure this out?

If you close it once you are in the car, that becomes the norm.
