I bought my 3.5k miles used Macan in May, trading in my 3 year old SD. Both have Pano sunroofs.
For a while, I’ve heard a metalic type rattle from near the offside drivers air vent on rough roads.
Was convinced it was related to the bonnet hinge / adjuster.

Took it into the OPC last week for 1st service, and a warrantee fix for the rattle.
Senior Technician drove us up the road - he could hear it too (😀) - had no idea what it was (☹️).

Collected the car later that day.
- Was a complicated fix.
- There is an allen-key like tool to shut the pano roof in an emergency ( battery failure etc).
- There is a fuse box on the driver’s A-post
- Key wasn’t clipped into the fuse cover lid properly... 🤭🤭🤭🙄🙄.

After 4 years of Macan ownership - who knew!

Yep - RTFM......

Interesting discovery. I wonder what the other little gadget (next to the Pano roof key) is for? It's either RTFM or wait for someone on the forum to tell me. :lol:

The wee white yoke is for gripping fuses, I believe. Not sure about the long thingy.

Spare a thought for those of us who actually took time to RTFM, and almost immediately forgot what we read.
