Very useful thank you - it worked exactly as described. It was easy and quick to disassemble but the sunroof was very stuck and stiff so - I removed the motor and two of us were able to push the sun roof closed to where it started to dip down. Then I refitted the motor and finished closing it with Allen key as described - but I guess the motor could have closed it at that point. I am curious why it sticks half way though as this seems a common complaint. Thank you
Woooow. finally I know how to change the covering layer beneth the roof... I went to 3 or 4 places to change but the didn't know how to remove it. and it is sooo easy as it seems. anyways. Big thanks and my salutes for you and keep up the good job bro.
Do you have a video where you show to repair/replace the eDrive/motor. We have that eDrive with the grinding sound - new eDrive is on the way, but do we need to change something else, or do we need to adjust something in order to have all cables work symmetric?!? You answer/link to video is HIGHLY appreciated . We have family war already - since my son killed that mum’s car roof😅
Thanks, since you are - I believe - somewhere in GB, do you have another video how you did that? I am located near Hannover/Germany; and NO ONE (VW car dealer or small shops) wants to work on the car. You video was a great help anyway. Thanks for quick response this morning; have a great weekend.
Once the sheet metal is removed to gain access to the motor, would it be possible to drill a hole so the wrench could be used without the need to take the cover off if needed again?
how to change octopus part that is powered by motor you showed. Mine has total stuck. Cant move it at all.. I have a spare part but don't know how to change it thanks in advance...
very good video Congratulations. Can you please help me with one thing? I need to change the sunroof cover of my Eos 2009, I have it crumpled and I would like to change it. You have some video for that? Thank you
@@CabrioletTech yes. The black one, the component that you move with your hand inside to be able to remove the sunroof. It is completely destroyed by the sun
Is there any mechanical connection between sunroof and A pillar latch. I manually lifted the C Segment rear glass to check after a roof error message. But couldn't detach from A pillar.

Hey. It seems like we can't see the second part of your video. I have a problem with my eos. I wanted to open the roof and it got stuck. So I decided to close it back. But my windows are stuck. And they stay opened. The car says that there is a problem with the roof. So I would like to follow all the steps of your video to try to fix that. Could you reshare your video or something please. Thanks, 🙂
Amine Dahaoui Hello The video works to end, this is only to close sunroof If your windows are not closing, it is because the system thinks the roof is open and you will need diagnostic equipment to close roof Where are you based ?
@@CabrioletTech I am in France 😂 The orange light of the roof system keep on flashing. All my windows are opened.

@@CabrioletTech thanks for your response. Btw I wanna add that I also can't open my roof completely anymore. There is just the first part that open. The full roof doesn't open at all. But that is not the biggest problem. The big problem is that my car is outside with all the windows opened 😭
How do you reset the sunroof as it's 1 step ahead so it doesn't open all the way and gets stuck behind rear head rests wen I try opening the roof? Thanks in advance
@@hajnib3035 understood, we would recommend to get it booked in with someone who has experience with an EOS to rectify the sunroof issue. Operating it manually is only for opening it in event of a failure and overrides all safety interlocks
Hello. I would like to know how it managed to synchronize the closing of the sunroof with the inner curtain, I have changed it and the sunroof has been misadjusted
I'm reaching out hoping someone can help. I removed my headliner to adress a rattle coming from around the sunroof motor area. I assumed the screws worked themselves loose.

@@CabrioletTech it makes a grinding noise and the top won't move even after taking the plastic lining off like you did. I tried to manually open by using your technique and it just clicks and doesn't move. Maybe it's jammed shut I have never cleaned the track. Idk what it is and once I fix it it will never happen again
@@CabrioletTech Okay. That would be a great help to me to know how to properly change the left and right roof cables by the book. I went and pulled the headliner, then I was able to move the sunroof back but the cables would lock up. I was able to bring it back closed but it's not fully seated closed. I have two brand new OEM VW cables. I have plenty of tools and experience with FSI and all auto brands major engine repair. I was thinking do the mechanisms in the rear remove and can the cables slide out that way? I honestly think that I have to relieve the pressure on the hydraulic pump, figure out how to manually open the roof slightly without making anything off kilter, support the roof with wood, and pull the cables from the front of the roof. Is there a number I can call or what is the proper procedure to contact you? I really appreciate your help. 2008 VW EOS
Compare a Honda to an EOS. Honda owners with sunroof knows how easy this is in comparison. When your sunroof stops operating VW EOS = So much tools required to actually close it with practicality and Torx bits are also not common. So much to remove to get to the motor and to use a wrench. Also heavy = You will be Wet and at mercy of Theft. Honda Accord = Literally one allen key is all that is needed supplied by Honda in the tool pouch. Small hole access panel to the sunroof motor (nothing to remove) and super easy to close. 5 min job
Hi, I tried opening the hood and found that the hood wouldn’t open on the dashboard it read System error I took it to Volkswagen and they have quoted me a huge bill and also advised a faulty micro switch can you show me how to replace and locate the switch ( I’d appreciate your knowledge and save me a ton of £££££ ) #HELP

The Sun roof can be reset using diagnostic equipment, however you need to rectify why it's kept in the first place
