Opening, closing, and tilting your Honda Civic sunroof

You recently got a Civic with a sunroof, but you have troubles operating it? Stick with me, and I will ease you of those worries.

First, your car’s ignition switch must be in the “ON” position to operate the sunroof. To get it working, follow the steps below:

Opening your Civic’s sunroof

With one touch, pull the sunroof switch backward firmly. In response, the sunroof automatically opens fully. You can choose to pause the sunroof midway by pressing the switch briefly.

The sunroof can also be manually opened. To do this, gently pull back the sunroof switch, then hold on to it until you get your desired point.

Closing your Civic’s sunroof

With one touch, push the sunroof switch forward firmly, and the sunroof will automatically close all the way.

To get it to close up manually, push the sunroof switch forward lightly, and hold on to it until you get your desired point.

Tilting your Civic’s sunroof

Push the middle button of the sunroof switch to tilt your Civic’s sunroof. To close the tilt, push the switch forward firmly, then release it.

Reasons why your Civic’s sunroof is not functioning

The following are some reasons your Civic’s sunroof malfunctions:

1. Clogged sunroof tracks:

 A common issue that prevents your Civic’s sunroof from closing or opening is a clogged sunroof track. This issue can be managed with regular cleaning of the sunroof tracks.

2. Faulty sunroof switch: 

The metal contacts in your Civic’s sunroof switch may get rusted over time and wear out. Rusty metal contacts will cause your sunroof switch to malfunction.

To fix this, open your sunroof switch and clean the rust. In severe rust cases, you may have to replace the sunroof switch.

3. Faulty sunroof motor:

 When you open your Civic’s sunroof, the sunroof motor typically makes a whining sound. When you don’t hear that sound, the motor may be broken, and this could cause your sunroof to stop working.

If you have a broken sunroof motor, it is best to see a mechanic immediately to have it replaced.

Other reasons your sunroof won’t work could be as a result of a loose cable, misaligned panel or other broken parts.

Fixing sunroof issues can go beyond basic skills, so it is advisable to visit an expert.

Handy Hint: I’ve previously written a guide which explains the fixes to try if your sunroof won’t close.

How long will a Honda Civic sunroof last?

Like other body components, the sunroofs in Civics  are made to last for the car’s lifespan. But they do need routine management, much like other body parts.

Sunroofs need to be cleaned of any material that may build up on the sliding rails and around the sealing components because they are frequently exposed to direct weather effects like rain, snow, or ice formation.

Summarily, regular maintenance and care will play a significant role in their longevity.
