I tried the anti-pinch feature on the sunroof and it did not work. The owners manual claims if any object is dectected in its path it will stop and retract to the open position, it did neither. When I took the H3 to the dealer for numerous other problems such as Stab. Traction fail, warp roof rails, rear door check creak and I also mentioned that the anti pinch feature did not work. The dealer techs tried several other H3 in the lot and not one anti-pinch feature worked. If you have young children Do Not let them touch the sunroof button, this button if touched only once will close the sunroof fully.which may do serious harm to your children. I spoke with the Customer Assistance Program many times about this problem and they assurred me that the engerring team in Detroit will be notified of this problem.

My anti pitch works fine although I got suckered into a aftermarket sunroof as they were on restriction at time of purchase and I couldnt find a adventure with factory sunroof in black or gray within a few hundred miles at time of purchase.I only had a week to find one due to turning in 2004 murano.I had to get a H3 within that week.All said Im happy the sunroof is not as big and nice as factory but whats done is done.Thinking back I should have looked further away or got a cutom rag top sunroof to be different it would of been about the same money.I do get a full warantty on the (german)sunroof 4 years 50k but probobly only at my dealer.

So how do test it? Stick your hand out and wait till it stops? Then call Onstar and get the parimedics.

I tried to restrict movement by placing my hand in front as it was closing and it did not stop. Then I tried to forcefully stop it by putting both hands on the moving glass and it damn near lifted me out of the chair. Extreme caution if anyone trys this. The manual claims if it sences any object it its path it will stop and open fully...........

Try using a throw pillow instead of your hand.

Did anyone stick their head up there yet to see if it works?

Why does it matter? Be a real parent and make sure your kids aren’t playing in the truck with their heads sticking out of the sunroof. That’s like complaining about the lack of reverse warning beeper if you back into someone. It’s not the manufacturer's responsibility to prevent injury caused by stupidity. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> X2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Having thought about it a bit more they should also have a feature on the doors to prevent you from closing them if an object is in the way. I once was stupid enough to close a car door on my finger and instead of feeling like a dumb ass for my mistake and dealing with it I should have tried to sue to car manufacture for their design flaw ![]() |

I discovered in December that it did not stop. I reached up there to get some ice off that was sliding aroune up there. I closed it then before it closed I reached up quick to brush off another.....I didn't realize that it was supposed to stop...although I kind of thought it should. I almost had my fingers pinched off but good thing instinct realized it was not going to stop and jerked my hand back.....I really don't think it was going to stop and I am glad I didn't find out how far it would go.
One of my dogs likes to ride with his head stiking out the top...no problem there. The one day I pushed the button and it started to close, the dog was in the back seat, anyway he decided he didn't want it to close so he went to stick his nose up ther while it was closing. I grabbed him a the last second....kind of scary. But if you touch the button while it is moving then it will stop...really not a big deal if you are aware of what is going on as a couple posters on here so eloquently mentinoed. |
Anti-Pinch...what's next! I've installed systems to automatically close windows when hands/arms/heads are in the path!
Have any of you actually gotten "pinched"? from a window, it sounds like no one could completely go through with it. It doesn't even cut off circulation. (I had to test for security reasons :P) As for the child safety...if the sunroof hurts them it will just make them fear and respect the sunroof, which is a good thing. |
