A2 panoramic roof

[Ivan]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I have a problem with the sunroof. Browsing the forum I found a person who replaces the entire roof, if I'm not mistaken in Stockholm. Can you help me find the contact? I have to ask him some things. Thank you all

Hi Ivan,

 

I repair OSS but am located in the south of Germany near Stuttgart.

Anyway regardless of the failure the OSS does not need to be replaced. ALL failures can be fixed and I have a solution for any possible damage.   
Depending on the damage it may be necessary to remove the OSS to fix it and later insert again. Only in very rare cases a replacement with a refurbished used OSS makes sense and may be cheaper than fixing the existing sun roof. I always have used and refurbished OSS on stock. 
If you need any assistance send me a personal message.

Ciao Ivan,

 

Riparo OSS ma mi trovo nel sud della Germania vicino a Stoccarda.

In ogni caso, indipendentemente dal guasto, non è necessario sostituire l' OSS . TUTTI i guasti possono essere risolti e ho una soluzione per ogni possibile danno.   
A seconda del danno potrebbe essere necessario rimuovere l' OSS per ripararlo e successivamente reinserirlo. Solo in casi molto rari è sensata la sostituzione con un OSS usato ricondizionato e può essere più economica rispetto alla riparazione del tetto apribile esistente. Ho sempre usato e ricondizionato OSS in magazzino. 
Se hai bisogno di assistenza mandami un messaggio personale.

Hallo Krebserl,

Ich besitze einen Audi A2 von 2003 und das Schiebedach auf einer Seite funktioniert nicht mehr. Ich habe das Dach von der Werkstatt einbauen lassen und den elektrischen Knopf abgeklemmt. Das Schiebedach leckt jetzt Wasser und ich habe auch Wasser im Batteriefach unter dem Kofferraum.
Hat der Audi A2 1 oder 2 Motoren für das OSS-Schiebedach?
Für jeden Ratschlag wäre ich sehr dankbar.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Nick

Hello Audi NV,

OSS has only one motor but 2 spiral wires to open/close the movable glass roof parts, which are pulled or pushed by the gear from the motor.

In your case most likely the spiral wire is broken off at one side of the 2 sliders. This can be fixed with the spiral wire repair set.
Regarding the leaking roof, you have to check the water drains on each side of the roof underneath the rear fixed segment. This is the section between 2nd moving glass and the trunk. These are probably blocked and therefore water leaks into the battery compartment. You can clean them e.g. with a long tie wrap.

Tried to open my OSS first time today, now that we have one day without rain. 

But when I push the open button, I can hear gear grinding and glass will only open like 1cm, when I give it a litte push, from passenger side front corner, it opened all the way after that, without extra noises.

 Those hooks on both sides are broken, but still functional for now. New ones are needed for sure.

But the question is, where to get parts and what parts do I need to get, to fix this.

Driving to Germany and get this fixed is too expensive, due to the long distance and expensive boat trip.

When I close the roof, it goes fine about 2/3 way. The last 10cm I hear the grinding noise and only the right side goes down, left side stays up and the front edge is slanted. Is that fixable or not?

And those hooks. The counterparts in the glass don't even touch them at any point.

did you use the hex key to wind it closed? is it closed now? tomorrow and Tuesday look like more rain, at least up here...

Most likely the plastic connection between spiral wire and slider is broken, thats why your OSS does not close completely anymore. In order to close the roof with this problem properly you have to remove the motor (tightened with 3 screws) underneath the interior light and then manually close the roof using a long and small Screwdriver pushing one of the 2 noses as seen in the picture all the way towards the front windscreen until the first sliding glass is completely closed and the sliding lockers on each side of the roof insert into the hooks. It needs some force to close it, but no risk of damaging anything, when you attach the screwdriver correctly (right in front of the small bolt with the secure clip).
The 2 broken hooks can be reworked. You habe to remove the broken plastic tip and the use a fine file to add a angle to the hook again, make it look same as before. The length will be reduced by approx. 5-6mm but that does not harm the function…

 

To fix the broken slider you can order a wire repair kit from me. How to install this repair kit is shown in this Youtube video…
