Mine S60 does the same.

Interesting - I just got a V60 CC and believe that's also the case with mine: I'll have to check it out. Do you feel it's not functioning 100% as it should?

 

That is 100% correct and how it is meant to be. It's the Aluminum Brace for the shade which Volvo apparently felt should be exposed for aesthetics... lol. Don't know how many times someone asked me if it was closed all the way on mine.

 

Honestly, this is how my Audis with panoramic roof options have appeared so I just assumed this was normal and never thought anything of it from the beginning.

 

Thanks, everyone. I suspected this is normal functioning, but wanted to be sure. I have a feeling there's a functional reason behind this. If it went all the way inside, the edge might get caught coming back out.

 

is it normal when you have hit the switch for the shade to close, it comes all the way forward this moves back a few inches leaving some of the glass uncovered by the shade?

 

sounds like you're holding the switch too long and it's cracking the glass up for venting (Different from the glass sliding back). Closing the shade is one click tap of the switch.

 

I've noticed some weirdness with the shade closing in my car. Occasionally it does that, comes forward (not holding switch, just tapped for auto close) and then backs off to the vent position. It was doing that consistently until I brought for service and they fixed a stuttering when closing issue on the glass panel. It has been working correctly since except for every once in a while it closes then backs off. I never hold the switch, just a tap to close the shade, so I assume something in the electronic control but it doesn't happen often so I haven't addressed it.

As an aside I have noticed with up to date software you can now close the sunroof along with the windows with the remote or by holding your finger on the door handle lock sensor. If you keep holding it will close the shade too.

 

It seems to be a common software issue where the sunroof shade losses it's memory as to what position is "closed". This causes the shade to attempt to auto close all the way, become confused, and open back up part ways. This is easily solved

Simply calibrate the sunroof and shade to "relearn" the positions of open/closed/vent. Close the sunroof and shade all the way (if the shade doesn't fully close or re-opens part ways that is ok). Pull the button down as if you are opening the roof manually, but NOT all the way past the detent position that initiates the "auto open" sequence. With the button pulled down, hold in this position for 40 seconds. It seems like a long time but....the roof and shade will move to all positions and relearn fully opened and closed locations. When the calibration sequence is ended, release the button and turn off the car. New parameters will be stored and the shade should fully close and stop now automatically.

 

I've been dealing with a sun curtain that wouldn't close completely for about a year. This calibration tip solved my problem, and I couldn't be happier that you shared it here. Thank you!

 

I did do the calibration on mine at one time and it did clear the sunroof issues and set the shade back to good. I did end up needing them to do the TSB to fix the stuttering though. But last time I mentioned that re-calibration here I got smacked down by some others here because we are all going to ruin our cars relearning auto windows and sunroofs instead of taking it to the dealer... so I'll keep my mouth shut, oh I guess it's too late for that ha

 

thanks all will give it a try later this week

 

Yes, it is meant to be that way. Think of it, as your visual guide that the edge has reached its destiny to let you know it is fully closed.
