B. Verify that the alignment holes in the drive unit and guide are aligned, and the sunroof motor pointers are lined up. Refer to illustration.

- If the holes are properly aligned, proceed to STEP C,

- If the holes are not properly aligned or will not cycle as described in STEP A, then align per the following procedure.

1. Turn the ignition key off.





2. Remove the sunroof motor and align the motor (per the Workshop Manual (section 09, Sunroof Motor Removal). A 4 mm hex wrench can be used to line up the pointers if they are slightly mis-aligned.

Note
^ A mirror can be used to better judge the alignment hole centering.





5. Insert a 3 mm pin or equivalent tool into each alignment hole. Refer to illustration.

6. Reinstall the motor per the Workshop Manual (section 09, Sunroof Motor Installation).

7. Remove the alignment pins/tools from both sides.
