Mini Clubman Sunroof Issue

That sounds incredibly frustrating! I had a similar issue with my Audi a while back – the panoramic roof went completely haywire after I messed around with the car's ECU. The symptoms you describe sound like a classic case of lost sunroof calibration. Have you tried any basic troubleshooting steps like checking fuses or disconnecting the battery for a while to reset the system?

Thanks for the reply! I did check the fuses – all seem fine. I also tried the battery thing, but no luck. What exactly do you mean by 'sunroof calibration'? Is that something I can do myself, or does it need special equipment? I'm not exactly a car expert, so any details you can give me would be amazing!

By calibration, I mean the sunroof control module probably needs to be reset so it knows the 'home' position of the sunblind and roof. Unfortunately, it usually requires diagnostic software (like ISTA or similar) to perform the sunroof calibration procedure. While there might be DIY methods floating around online, you risk further messing things up. Honestly, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop that specializes in Mini or BMW vehicles. They should be able to recalibrate the sunroof without too much hassle.

Just wanted to say thanks a million for the help! I took it to a local place, and they said the sunroof needed a calibration. Apparently, when I had some coding done, it messed with the sunroof's computer. They reset it for 75€, and everything is working perfectly again! So relieved it wasn't something major.
