In this video we can see how to temporarily solve the problem of the panoramic roof of a Mini R56. Unfortunately, the panoramic roof is a magnificent accessory, but very delicate: just think about when in spring we see pollen and seeds flying in the wind in a kind of fuzz: it's all stuff that settles in the guides of our panoramic roof, from which we cannot expect it to work perfectly, with all that muck preventing proper operation.

The first rule is therefore to keep the guides clean and lubricated.

Then in case of emergency, we can do as the youtuber suggests: a tap in the center of the roof will help with the positioning and solve the issue.
