Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Area A: Forward Headliner Area

1. Open the sunroof and make sure that the sunroof drain tubes are intact and that no holes are present. If welds are damaged or have holes, repair or replace the sunroof frame.

2. If welds and drain tubes are OK, remove the front header and side trim pieces. Remove the headliner retainer clips (2 metal and 1 plastic per side), sunroof welt, and sun visor.





3. Carefully lower the headliner. Using a flashlight, check that the drain hose tubes are attached to the sunroof frame. Figure 29.

4. Direct a small stream of water into sunroof drain holes to make sure the drain tubes do not leak. If leaking is present, check for damaged hoses.

5. If the hoses are damaged, install a replacement piece of hose which provides a tight fit to the existing hose. The outside diameter of the replacement hose should be 9.5 mm (3/8 in).
