Sunroof / Moonroof: Adjustments






Sunroof Glass Adjustments

Front Adjustment





- Move the sunshade rearward to the open position.

- Move the sunroof glass panel to the fully closed position.

- Loosen all the glass attachment screws on both sides of the module such that the glass panel is adjustable in the vertical and fore-aft directions.

- Cycle the sunroof open, closed, vent and closed again.

- Standing outside the vehicle (one side at a time with one hand supporting the front corner of the glass panel) lift the front glass panel corner (3) until it is between flush and slightly under flush (0.00 to -1.75 mm) with the front roof corner (2). Use your free hand to snug up the glass bolt with sufficient force (finger tight) that the weight of the glass panel corner is supported. Repeat this process on the other side of the vehicle.

Rear Adjustment





- Move to the rear of the sunroof glass panel. Standing outside of the vehicle (one side at a time with one hand supporting the rear corner of the glass panel) lift the rear glass panel corner (3) until it is between flush and slightly over flush (0.00 to +1.75 mm) with the rear roof corner (2). Use your free hand to snug up the glass bolt with sufficient force (finger tight) that the weight of the glass panel corner is supported. Repeat this process on the other side of the vehicle.

- Check the flushness of the glass panel in the corners with a straight edged tool (1) that won't scratch the glass or roof, held at a 45 degree angle to the vehicle's for/aft center line. The preferred glass panel placement for blockage of water/air leaks is flush at all the corners. If this is not possible, adjust the glass panel's vertical placement within the tolerance ranges described above towards the flush position.

- If the glass panel's vertical position needs to be adjusted, loosen the bolt at the corner and make the necessary adjustments. Tighten the bolt before moving onto the next corner.

- Once the proper glass position has been achieved, tighten the six glass panel screws to 3.5 Nm (31 in lbs).

- Check for proper fit. If not OK, repeat glass panel adjustment.
