REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Remove the moonroof glass:

^ Refer to steps 1 thru 4 of the Glass Replacement procedure in the appropriate IL Service Manual, or

^ Online, enter keyword MOONROOF GLASS,

and select Moonroof Glass Replacement (With Moonroof) from the list.

2. Place a piece of masking tape on the middle of the

front edge of the moonroof glass. Make sure that the tape is on the glass only and not touching the soft rubber of the weatherstrip.





3. Place a mark on the masking tape that aligns with the seam of the weatherstrip.

4. Push down on the top of the old weatherstrip with your thumb until a small section separates from the moonroof. Once a section has started to separate, grip it and pull outward, working around the moonroof until the weatherstrip is completely removed (note the locations of the holes in the weatherstrip).





5. Align the seam of the new weatherstrip with the mark on the masking tape. Make sure the holes are pointed in the same direction as noted in step 4.

6. Press the ridge of the new weatherstrip into the groove on the moonroof where the masking tape is marked. Work toward one corner, then go back to the middle and work toward the opposite corner. Be careful not to stretch the weatherstrip.

7. Continue pressing along one side, from corner to corner; then press along the opposite side, from corner to corner.

8. At the rear of the moonroof, continue pressing from one corner to the middle; then press from the opposite corner to the middle until the strip is completely installed.

9. Reinstall the moonroof glass (refer to the Glass Replacement procedure).

10. Check for proper fit of the new weatherstrip by opening and closing the moonroof.
