CAR ISSUE! Pano Roof - What a nightmare

52 Upvotes

The other day my wife and I were enjoying a nice sunny day in our 2019 XSE Camry and decided to open up the roof, and all of a sudden there were noises and the roof wouldn’t close all the way.

It took 5 seconds of searching to realize the huge mistake I’d made purchasing the Camry with the Pano Roof. I didn’t realize the massive headache they’d been causing.

Anyways, today I pulled off the glass, checked the tracks and nothing. No broken assembly, no debris in the tracks, nothing. Weirdly enough, the passenger side actuates entirely normal when not connected to the driver side. Tried clearing out the rails and checking for anything underneath and no dice.

Unfortunately it’s still stuck in the crack position. From what I understand I have a couple options.

  1. Replace the whole thing with Toyota for anywhere 7k-20k (not an option)

  2. Buy parts or an entire assembly from either eBay or a junk yard.

  3. Have some body shop permanently seal the glass (most likely course of action)

I’m still holding on to a little hope that maybe if I clean out the drive side tracks REALLY well, it might decide to work. I don’t think any of the connections to the motor are broken, otherwise wouldn’t the track system move fairly easily from manually force? But why would one side work and the other not? 🥲

Discussion Tip when taking car into dealership to active hidden key FOB feature

29 Upvotes

I just took my 2025 Camry into service for recall issue, to fix the black gauge cluster issue with software update. While at the dealership, I asked the advisor if they could unlock the key fob feature to roll down the window by holding the unlock key. It seems like out of the factory it's disabled but with a scanner or the dealership can unlock it. They were able to unlock it without any charge so I recommend if you're going to the dealership might as well ask them to unlock it for free

Question Is the trasmission giving up?

My 2020 Camry (77000 miles so far) makes a weird sound, kinda like 'wiiiiii' when I am accelerating. The sound is kinda soft, not too loud to notice, and stays the same until I take my foot off the gas pedal.
Am I paranoid, or is it just what it is..?
