Removal Procedure


Notice: To avoid paint damage, protect the area surrounding the part which you are removing or installing.





1. Lower the headliner. Refer to Headliner Replacement (Service and Repair) in Interior Trim.
2. Cycle the glass panel to the rear.

Important: Do not remove the fine-thread machine fasteners (4) second from the rear. Identify the fasteners from the inside of the vehicle.

4. Cycle the glass panel to the flush or closed position.
5. Remove the motor.




6. Remove the 2 sunroof motor bolts (4) at the front of the sunroof housing.





Important:
* To prevent damage to the finish, mask the roof panel in front of the sunroof opening using masking tape and paper.

* Carefully handle the module by the glass panel. Do not squeeze the module or bend the components.



7. Remove the sunroof module (1) by lifting upward and forward.



Installation Procedure





1. Insert the rear of the module through the roof opening (2). Index the module on the raised guides on the track.
2. Slide the module (1) into the sunroof opening. Do not damage the finish at the front of the opening.
As you slide the module under the rear retaining clips (3), you will feel resistance during the last 6-9 cm (2-3 in) of travel.
3. Verify that the module (1) is under the clips. This will prevent noise during travel over road irregularities.
4. Lower the glass panel into the opening.
