Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Trouble Diagnoses

Diagnostic Table:

WIND DEFLECTOR




1. Open lid.
2. Check visually for proper installation.
3. Check to ensure a proper amount of grease has been applied to wind deflector connection points; apply if necessary.




4. Check that wind deflector will properly retract by hand. If not, remove and visually check condition. If wind deflector is damaged, replace with new one. If wind deflector is not damaged, re-install properly and lubricate connection points with grease. See step 3 above.




ADJUSTMENT
If any gap or height difference between glass lid and roof is found, check glass lid fit and adjust as follows:

Gap Adjustment
1. Open shade assembly.
2. Tilt glass lid up then remove side trim.
3. Loosen glass lid securing bolts (3 each on left and right sides), then tilt glass lid down.
4. Adjust glass lid from outside of vehicle so it resembles "A-A" as shown in the figure above.
5. Tilt glass lid up and down until it is adjusted to "B-B" as shown in the figure above.
6. After adjusting glass lid, tilt glass lid up and tighten bolts.
7. Tilt glass lid up and down several times to check that it moves smoothly.

Height Difference Adjustment
1. Tilt glass lid up and down.
2. Check height difference between roof panel and glass lid to see if it is as "A-A" as shown in the figure above.
3. If necessary, adjust it by using one of following procedures.
- Adjust by adding or removing adjustment shim(s) between glass lid and link assembly.
- If glass lid protrudes above roof panel, add shim(s) or plain washer(s) at sunroof mounting bracket or stud bolt locations to adjust sunroof installation as required.

DRAIN HOSES
1. Remove headlining to access drain hose connections. (Refer to "ROOF TRIM" for details.)




2. Check visually for proper connections, damage or deterioration. A (The figure shows only the front side.)




3. If leakage occurs around trunk room, remove trunk room side trim and check connecting area. Check for proper connection or damage.
4. Remove drain hoses and check visually for any damage, cracks, or deterioration.
5. Pour water into drain hoses and find damaged portion.
- If any damaged portion is found at each step, replace the damaged hose.

WEATHERSTRIP
- In case of leakage around lid, close lid and pour water over lid to find damaged or gap portion.
- If gap is between weatherstrip and roof panel, perform gap adjustment.
- If gap is between weatherstrip and lid, or if weatherstrip is flattened, damaged or deteriorated, replace lid assembly. (Weatherstrip is not serviceable.)

LINK AND WIRE ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Before replacing a suspect part, carefully ensure it is the source of noise being experienced.

1. Check link to determine if coating film has peeled off to such an extent that substrate is visible. Check also to determine if link is the source of noise. If it is, replace it.
2. Visually check to determine if a sufficient amount of petroleum jelly has been applied to wire or rail groove. If not, add petroleum jelly as required.
3. Check wire for any damage or deterioration. If damaged, replace wire.
