    When you guys open up your sunroof, not the tilt but all the way open. When you push the button does it open all the way. Cuz on mine it opens most of the way except for like an 2 inches and then i have to push it again to get it to go as far back as it can. Does anyone elses do that??? its not a big deal or anything but y would they do that??? if thats normal lol

    I never actually noticed it until one day I hit the button the wrong way and my sunroof went back some more. Thats the only way I ever came about noticing it

    hmmm.. well now you tickled my curiosity and i went out to my car at 1:00am.. turned it on and opned my sun roof. clicked it back.. it opened.. clicked it again and it went back another 2 inches.. never really even thought to do it till you said it. but yea mine goes back a lil more if u click it again. so it must be a normal thing

    08 here and mine opens all the way with one push of the button.

    Maybe it's cuz y'all have American built Lancer's and mine's from Japan...

    lol j/k

    That's weird though that some of them dont open all the way.

    mine does the same thing but i did some messing around with it to fig it out and well theres a few things i notice:
    when you only push it once it doesnt make as much noise as it does when you open all the way(while driving at highway speed 65 or so)
    second when you have your side windows up and it push all the way back some times i get that weird warble sound like when you open only one window...

    but again thats only pertaining to my car...
    oh and mine is an 08

    Ok, I just tried. You are right, it does go back 2 more inches... never noticed that, hehe.

    I do enjoy the extra 2 inches. (I mean, who doesn't? Just ask your gf) :D

    By the way, my Lancer is MADE IN JAPAN.

    all of them should do the same thing. the canadian model does it too. i didnt even ever knwo till i read this post that maybe it opens that extra lil bit. i like it how it opens the extra 2 inches! was soo happy when i tried it...lol. tried it on another members car too and yes it does open a lil bit more after you hit it once and it opens up the majority of the way and BAM it opens even more when you hit it again! haha :D

    Even my wife's Sequoia does this. Best guess is that it is designed that way to stop at the first position that best eliminates major air buffeting because once I opened it all the way while driving it so loud that the only quick fix was to roll down the rear window.
