Hopefully the sunroof is the same in Sweden as it is in Canada, just take your time and I'm sure that it will be fine. Good luck!

Well, I ordered the part numbers as mentioned by Specialized and even checked the numbers out here: shorturl.at/clpBX but they must have different versions or changed the design over the years. The ones I received look the same but the curved section that extends out from the mounting pivot is not as long as the ones on my car. So they aren't wide enough to fit in the tracks, at least 8mm on each side, so impossible to get the moving glass back on the car with the new ones.
Now the sunroof won't open fully because I can't get the old tilt arm on the drivers side to sit properly in the track. I need to enlist the assistance of a tall strong friend to help me line it up when it goes back on

In the first image you can see the new tilt arm mounted on the metal bracket. I then held the old one next to it so the pivot was lined up. You can see the difference in placement of the plastic slider. he new one is much closer to the metal bracket.

The small plastic slider is missing on the old one but I'mnot sure this is the problem - there's a load of crap stuck to the old sliders from too much lube.

They look almost identical - it's the part to the right of my middle finger that is different - that distance between the screw and the part the sliders are mounted on is longer on the old one.

I have watched my panoramic get slower and slower over the last 2 weeks. It finally got stuck tonight. It starts to close, than says, "nope". and auto reverses. Ill let you know what I find. already tried blowing the tracks out, and I'm about to lubricate them.

Any luck on that?

Any updates mine is doing the same thing ?

MY 2018 Santa Fe Sport sun roof which I may have opened five times, suddenly will not close completely, it closes and drop in place only to raise itself, leaving the glass raises and slightly open. this will not allow the shade to close either.

brought it to the Hyundai here in La Quina CA. the only thing they want to do is replace the entire assemble and charge me $4000. any thought?

2014 Sport 2.0T - Anyone in here had/have issues with your panoramic sunroof not closing? I really like driving with it open, but haven't opened it for a while. The first time it would not close, I took it to the dealer. They cleaned the rails and spayed lithium grease, worked for a few months and did the same thing, not closing all the way. I finally got it closed and haven't open it since. I know about the class action lawsuit for exploding glass and lots of issues with this roof. I believe Hyundai had discontinued the panoramic sunroofs. I read about the "tilt system" could be defective. Also how to reset the sunroof system and how to manually close with the tool that came with the car. May stay closed forever, at least it hasn't exploded!

I removed my sunroof last week. You have to get it almost closed and then you can access all of the screws. Getting the rubber trim thing out of the way is tough but I just pulled until it came free. Remove the front two screws, then the middle one, and going by memory the back ones are attached to the rear sliders which you "can" leave on, and then pull out the entire glass panel with the rear sliders still attached. Or remove them and then lift the glass out of the way (have someone help you) and then just pull the sliders out. Once I had it out, it's obvious that the plastic pads on the sliders had worn down. They can be removed(if they aren't badly worn, they dont want to come off), and flipped over. I don't think that you can buy just the plastic tabs. I also sprayed fluid film into the rear slide rails. I chose that product because it resists being washed out, and is pretty thick. Maybe there is a better product to use, the thing about the sliders is that they will push anything right off the rail as they move so I don't know if you are going to get anything decent in there. I sprayed through the top, between the rubber weather stripping that the rails slide through. Installation is pretty easy, start with the rear sliders, with them just inside the rail. Don't tighten the screws until all of them are in place. just get them most of the way to make sure that everything lines up nicely, you don't want anything binding. It's really quite simple to do, much easier than dropping the entire headliner. And this way you can flip over that plastic tab on the rail and get more life out of it. I really should have taken pictures. If you have any questions let me know.

hey mate mine have done the same thing what year was yours? mine is 2016 highlander do you think they have all the same style moon roof cheers dan

Hi guys sorry to bump this post.
I have an upholstery shop and do the repairs for Hyundai and their sun roof issue.

The problem is your tilt levers go bad. There is little plastic shoes on them and they wear off and its metal on metal. That's why your sun roofs are jamming.
Hyundai does NOT no how to fix this problem. That's why I do it.

DO NOT spray anything into the sunroof track. It will make it much worse by crap sticking in there.

There are 2 options. If it is under warranty. They will replace the sunroof frame assembly.
Worth about $4,000-$5,000 CDN.

A lot of the times they WILL NOT replace the Tilt Levers. The problem in the first place.
Make sure they order both left and right levers.

The levers are on the SUN ROOF glass itself. Not the frame.

If you are going to fix it yourself, you will have to drop the headliner, pop the glass out, and swap the levers.
Left and Right. ON THE GLASS!

You then will have to re program your sunroof and shade. Not hard to do. Its in your owners manual .

Here are the part numbers for the 2 tilt levers. Left and Right.
Part #81635-3S010 & #81636-3S010

Just thought I might be of some help.

What model and year is this for?
Mine is a 2020 Santa Fe 2.4L

Just thought I might be of some help.

Just joined the forums to share my experience. Had this happen today, would not close. Almost got it closed but once it hit the net it would open. I tried using force, but then it wouldn't even try to close after opening back up. I thought i broke the motor.

IT IS THE LEVERS. As @Specialized said.

A quick solution to get it closed for a quick fix: Have someone hold the close button and someone lift the back of the glass (pretty much be the lever) and it closed right up. Quick. Motor seems to be doing fantastic.

Even found this video I might try soon.

Specialized, Where are you located of we want to get ours replaced by you? Mine wouldn't shut the day I drove put of the dealership. I year later now my sister just noticed the vision glass is broken stress cracks all along the top where the sunroof moves . Just hoping maybe you are close by for a repair I looked up the glass visor it's about $413 to order online. Thank you for the info it was very helpful.

I have the same; mine jammed 6mo ago - simply suddenly met resistance while closing, and recoiled back open. Took it to Hyundai dealer under warranty, and they replaced the motor (which took a week since parts were scarce under COVID).

Worked for a while, and now same has happened again. It seems to be resistance in the runners - really strong resistance that even pushing with all my might can't overcome, which makes me afraid there's an issue around runners becoming bent/displaced such that it's impossible to fix.

Unfortunately if this happens, you're screwed. There's no easy manual override or disconnect, apparently – just a complex disassembly at the dealer. I’m going to try blowing and cleaning mine, but I suspect it’ll be an expensive fix and one of the clear signs you need to replace your sunroof before it causes bigger issues.

It sounds like your panoramic sunroof is experiencing a common issue with the track or tilt mechanism. Cleaning and lubricating can help temporarily, but repeated problems usually mean the motor or alignment is wearing out. Try performing a sunroof system reset by holding the close button for about 10–15 seconds until it cycles through open and close. If it still sticks, the tilt system may be faulty. Visit a sunroof repair specialist for a detailed inspection rather than the dealership to save costs. Since Hyundai has known issues with panoramic roofs, check for any related service bulletins or extended warranties.
