Sunroof / Moonroof: Description and Operation

The electrically operated sliding roof is operated from a switch on the instrument panel.

The drive motor is connected to the gear by a short flexible shaft and fitted in the rear roof section. These components together with the tubular girder are accessible through a zipper in the roof lining.

The slip coupling fitted protects the drive from damage. At the same time injuries caused through jamming are also prevented.

In the event of failure of the electric drive the sliding roof can be operated by means of an emergency hand crank.
