i have a 2003 525i and the sunroof will fully open and closee, but it will not tilt. i was driving one day with it tilted open, and i hit a pothole and it slammed down over my head. any thoughts on what the culprit could be and/or how to fix it?????

Either loose screws or a broken lever. Try to tilt it up while gently pushing up with your other hand. You should see what the problem is then.

found the culprit. it is the lifters and i found a DIY for only about $75 and about 1.5 hours of labor! My dealer told me that the SAME PART to fix it would cost $1400! i am waiting on the parts to be shipped and then i will attempt to install it. should nt be that hard. =]
