I have a 2019 Countryman F60. I have an after-market flexible sunscreen under the sunroof when it's too sunny out. I forgot to take it out and tried to open the sunroof. bad idea! The sunroof got stuck and would not open or close.

To fix it,
- checked the fuse, no problem (didn't help)
- tried holding the sunroof button for at least 15s to try and reset (didn't work)
- took the keyfobs out of range for half an hour and I was able work the sunroof after this

I made sure that the key fobs were out of range, which is pretty far away - 200 feet or so and just waited for about 45 minutes. I read this solution on a mini site.

Why does this work? And why would it take this long to reset the sunroof. This was really odd.

 

I just wish I lived somewhere where it's too hot in March!

 

uh, sorry about that 😜

 

I'm in NC and have had my sunroof open almost daily. My 19 f56 came with a slide back/forth sunscreen - I thought they all did?

 

yeah, mine is the same as yours and it works great, no problems, but the back/forth sunscreen doesn't block out enough sun, so I got a separate sunscreen (like the flexible windshield sunscreens) that fits perfectly under the back/forth one. Unfortunately, I forgot to remove the extra sunscreen and it jammed, so I caused the problem.

I saw several threads talking about the 30 minute out of range keyfob "fix", which worked for me, but it just seems strange.
