Re: One touch opening of sunroof (flybynight)

80-90% is normal.... beyond that, you get some acoustic and buffeting effects, so default is not 100%

 

Re: One touch opening of sunroof (flybynight)

That's normal. 100% open is significantly louder than the 90% open position.

 

Re: One touch opening of sunroof (DocG)

HA!! and I thought that's as far back as it goes... gonna go try to push it one more time.

 

I wonder if the 06 sunroof buffer helps at 100% open.

 

Re: (slowrey)

No real sound difference even on the Eway between the 90% and 100% it seems in my 06. I wish the default in mine WAS 100%.

Then I may have to invest in the M06 buffer.

 

Re: (slowrey)

What!? I have had the car for 2.5 years and never knew it would open further!

I have a similar feature in my passat. the real sound difference occurs arounf 35-45 mph. at the 90% position it's just added breeze and sunshine. go to 100% at that speed and you'd think you were going about to pass mach 1.

I imagine MY 04 & 05 R's also have one-touch opening of the sunroof (and closing as well). My question is: When you open the sunroof, does yours open about 90% before it stops? So if you want the sunroof 100% open you have touch the button a second time. Not that I really care, but I was wondering if this is normal.

Not only is that normal but if you are brave enough to throw your hand between the sunroof & the roof while closing, the sunroof will press against your hand, sense the obstruction & retract automatically.

Yes and my (not so smart) buddy tested that feature on the passenger side window with his head! It worked but not before he yelled a nice loud OUCH!

You might want to try that with a book, or something else beside your hand, on that first try.

Wait a sec', he said NO real sound difference, did you misread that?

Having just traded in a MY02 S60 T5 for a new MY06 S60R, I can say there is a slight improvement. I'd say their is more air noise in the '06 but less if any buffeting sound.

Buffer? What's that for '06? Pic?

I imagine it's a pop up wind deflector. It's odd. Every car I've owned with a sunroof has had a popup wind deflector. Except the Volvo.

 

Yeah, every car I can remember that's had a sunroof has always had a popup wind deflector, some using a combinaton of deflector and 85% open, except for volvo, but depending on the speed, the effects of the deflector become null, but at the same time, you dont really want the roof open.

"...try it with a book first..."

Too late, all I can say is "ouch" and "it works"

 

Re: One touch opening of sunroof (steamboatsig)

Eliminate the annoying sound by cracking the rear window. Always worked for me. 100% open never a problem after that.

 

Re: One touch opening of sunroof (JOSBRO)

ha, I can't believe MY06 is the first to have this deflector for Volvo.

I haven't quite figured out the vortec generator design though, this should be a lot more noisey than a simple flat deflector.

Volvo tends to bounce around on the wind deflector. It's kind of like the black moldings changing to body color cycle.

For example, my 2000 S40 had a deflector but the 2001-2004 didn't. Now, my 2004 S60R has no deflector but the new ones do.

The 05s have it as well.

 

Re: One touch opening of sunroof (MagoonR)

My 850 R has a deflector

You better be right,

I just ordered that upgraded deflector for my 04

Re: One touch opening of sunroof (JRL)

My '05 has the deflector and I still get buffeting at 90 and 100%.

I don't think even with the deflector that you're going to get rid of buffeting at 100% without opening a window. That's why they stop it at 90%.

I am not sure why you're still getting buffeting with the deflector at 90%. Strange. My '04 has no deflector and it does buffet a bit more than expected, but at 90% it's not an issue, even at speeds over 100mph.

Hmmmm.
