BMW X1 Panoramic Sunroof Replacement (2009-2015) 

YES! I ordered the parts for replacement and this is the first video showing the whole process. Thank you!!!!

Excellent tutorial for repairing this common issue... much appreciated!

Excellent job! Looks like a lot of work. This was a very helpful video to understand what is underneath the head cover. Thank you.

I am so glad I came across this video, I got a quote from my BMW dealership and thought $5000 to replace just the liner was insane. I got them down to half of that because after they inspected my liner they ended up ripping the other side. I am hesitant for them to even fix the liner because of that now.

Bro! You can't even begin to imagine how much time I spent looking for this video! I wanna shake your hands for this awesome video! 🫡

This is exactly the issue with my 2013 X1. Thank you for the thorough guide on how to get the headliner and sunroof off! My glass is working but that back shade panel is stuck. I’m thinking I might just try to get it unstuck, repair the fabric if I can and then pull the fuse for the sunroof to disable it. Do you think it’s possible to unstick the shade without taking the whole thing out? Thanks again - this is a great guide.

Wow well done for this video!! 🎉 My sunshade is stuck in open position and get anti trap warning, moon roof front tilts up and down but nothing after that. Tried initialising it but no luck, I can hear a click from the back when button pressed but nothing else. I have managed to manually open the moon roof compelety and when I try to initialise it closes fine electronically but again the front only tilts up. The sunshade doesn’t move at all, does the whole unit need to come out to replace the sunshade or the track for sunshade? please help if you can.

Excellent job! Thanks, I Learn a lot.

Excellent and very informative video!

Hi excellent video, I’m going to try on mine, once all that job is done,, how can the sliding panel be removed from the rack? Thank yoy

Excellent, Where there plastic or metal rivets? Also do I need to open entire sunroof just to fix the token of clothes on shade , my sunroof mechanism is not malfunctioning?

Excellent video sir, I'm about to dive into this exact job tomorrow, need to replace the visor on the sunroof of a 15 Bmw X1 , the rail that open and closes it still works, jus the material missing, note this is a single piece boardless visor,just that thin dotted hole vent material Do I need to remove the entire roof too for this job or can I just drop the woodliner? any advice, much appreciated

Good Job,well explained step by step....very helpful video.

Hi, Excellent video. My sun shade got stuck on passenger side when it was trying wrap up and got stuck there. 50% of the shade where hanging down into the interior, so I had to cut it of the moving bar and just stove the cloth under the roof panel. I have found a replacement sunshade to install but do I have to remove the glas roof in order to replace the shade?

Do you have a similar video for the X1 F48 model (2016-2022)? Or can you tell if I can use this video to complete the work with minimal variances? Thank you in advance!

Hi, great video,,,, will you have a video showing how to remove both sundhades?? Apologíse for my broken english

Why are you replacing the whole sunroof? You can’t just repair the malfunctioning shade? Or is the sunroof also malfunctioning ?

Hello! I'm going to install a panoramic roof on my E84, I have a question - where do the front drain pipes end?

My 2015 x1 also has the rear cover stuck. was there a part replaced or did you replace the entire sunroof?

Excellent videos. I have a question if I may, my sun shade has done the same but the sun roof works fine, can I replace just the tracks and/or cable that operate the sun shade and do I need to take out the entire sun roof assembly to replace the mechanism for the shade. Thank you

do you have to remove the whole cassette to remove the sun shades for recovering?

Why the panel was stucked 26:19 did you figured out? Could u fixed it ?

I have one of these with the rear shade separated from the track. It's aggravating because I want it to work right, but I'm also not looking to pay thousands of dollars or remove the entire assembly just to fix that. I bought this car new in 2015 and have stayed on top of keeping everything in excellent shape, but this may be one I don't get around to. After watching this video, I'm not sure I'm interested in this type of job. I do see just the tracks on e-bay for less than $150 though, so it's something to think about.

Do you alsp open the Front Airbags to remove the frame? Ore is it enough to open the back Airbags lile your Video. To remove the frame the class in the back still in the car and you don't remove the class in the front?

Jesus! When can I bring mine over for you to repair, because there is no way in hell I am trying that mess!

Great video. Very informative. If it wasn't for this video, I might have attempted this, but it clearly needs to be done by guys who know what they are doing. There was so much that could go wrong throughout this process. Thanks for taking the time to do this video & save me from potentially messing things up further.🙈

did u replace the cables

👍👍👍!
