You have to remove the overhead control unit (front dome lamp assembly) to gain access to the sunroof motor(link below) You can then put an allen wrench/socket into the drive motor for the sunroof and turn to close. This works if the sunroof motor has failed. If the problem is the switch, you might get lucky by pointing the key at the IR pickup on the driver's door handle and holding the lock button. That should close all of the windows and the sunroof. Mercedes 211 overhead mirror removal
Some sunroofs have a open switch like the drivers window. You push it and the window will open automaticly. The button on your sunroof could be jammed so even though you can close it as soon as you release it, it will auto open on it's own.
Check your wires and fuses, I am having a similar problem myself as the windows open, but not the sunroof and this is a feature that VW had on most of these models with power locks, even my 96 Gti did it. I will repost with what fixed it ASAP.
Had a similar problem... the wiring harness that goes inside the drivers door had a broken wire, hence no power would go to the door locks or the power windows. Check the area where the harness flexes when the door opens and closes.
put key in drivers door and hold over (unlock) for 30 secs, windows go down, then open sunroof fully.then put key in drivers door and hold over(lock) for 30 secs windows will go up and sunroof will close,you have just reset the system.....if sunroof rollsback again then the park switch is faulty.
Check wire harness between driver door and body for broken wires.Wire harness bends , when door opens and closes so it may brake the wire or two inside harness.
