Glass Panel Gap Dimensions







Glass Panel Gap Dimensions

The dimensions specified are necessary for the roof to function correctly.

The dimensions in new vehicles may differ slightly from what is specified in the information.

If there are no concerns about function, noise or leaks, an adjustment is not necessary.

When installing new components, create the same dimensions that existed before.

Determine the gap dimensions with the setting gauge (VAS 6448).

Only specified dimensions are on the setting gauge. Tolerances are determined with the adjustment gauge (3371).
