I dont know if it is just the design of the tilt sunroof but it doesnt to open much it at any tilt at all. I tried the tilt for the first time bc i was in the X and never needed up her in CT bc of the cold weather and when I did it I noticed that it didnt open up and tilt like a 1 or 2 inch which is normal on other sunroof's i have on my other cars. My wife's 08 Tahoe and my G35 both tilt a good 1 to 2 inch at least to have a gap. But I noticed on the X it is like less then 1 inch and it is almost as if it is not open. Has anyone else noticed this? I searched the forum and have not seen a thread on it.

Maybe it is by design just wanted to throw it out there to see if I am the only one. I will post up a pic this wkend to show what I mean.

I'll check mine this morning, but I would guess that about an inch would be correct.
 






It's fine. They don't tilt very much as compared to other vehicles, and prior Explorers.
 












Now, the rear (passanger) sunroof section tilts slightly more the the front (driver's) panel.;)
 












so i took some pics. This is the most the front tilts.

Shoudnt it tilt more then that? Just curious if the rest of you get the same results. I just want to make sure it isnt another problem. I know my G35 opens more then that and so does my wife's Tahoe.

That looks about what mine does. I think that's normal.
