Sun Roof

REMOVAL

1. Remove the headliner.






2. Remove the decoration cover and the glass panel.

Tightening torque:
Glass panel mounting nuts : 4 - 6 Nm (40 - 60 kg.cm, 2.9 - 4.4 lb.ft)







3. Disconnect the drain hose.






4. Remove the bolts and nuts holding the sunroof and then remove the sunroof assembly.

Tightening torque:
Sunroof mounting bolts : 7 - 11 Nm (70 - 110 kg.cm, 5.1 - 8.0 lb.ft)
Sunroof mounting nuts : 4 - 6 Nm (40 - 60 kg.cm, 2.9 - 4.4 lb.ft)


NOTE: When removing the sunroof assembly, carefully pull out the assembly to avoid damaging other parts.






INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse of removal.

NOTE: Check that the limit switches (LS1 and LS2) of the motor are fully closed. Align the guide roller center and slider mating marks in the fully closed position.









VERIFY OPERATING CONDITION AFTER INSTALLATION

If the glass panel moves slowly, check and adjust.

1. Make sure the battery is fully charged.
2. Make sure that the sunroof sliding unit is free of abrasive materials.
3. Make sure that, when the glass panel opens, the rear of the panel does not jam against the roof panel. If there is interference, fully open the glass panel and move the stopper forward.

NOTE: If the stopper is moved forward too far, it may cause malfunction or leaks. Make sure the gap between the glass panel and roof panel is not more than 0.3 mm (0.012 in.).

4. Measure the driving force of the motor, and adjust it to 15 - 25 kg (33.1 - 55.7 lb) with the torque adjustment nut on the motor.






5. After adjustment, be sure to lock the nut with the pawl washer.
