The front sunshade latch may break, preventing sunshade closure. The broken pieces may rattle.

Technical Background

Weak sunshade latch.

Production Solution

Improved latch.

Service

Replace the front sunshade support. The entire sunshade does not need to be replaced for this condition. The sunshade support can be replaced as follows:

1. Open the roller blind fully. Open the sunroof to its full open position.





2. Remove sunroof cover plates on both sides, carefully unclipping the covers away from the sunroof module toward the center of the vehicle.





3. Slide the roller blind forward and disconnect the front rail from the slides. The rail is released by compressing the clips as shown.





4. The front rail then pivots away from the slides and the roller blind can then be retracted out of the way.





5. Remove the tab on one side of the rail channel where the shade material is coupled. The same tab will be removed on the replacement support.





6. The old support can now be removed by sliding it off of the cloth. It is very important to not let go of the cloth while the support is apart from the cloth. It is under spring tension and if released will retract and the sunshade will be damaged.





7. Install the new support.
