MOONROOF UNIT ASSEMBLY

Inspection


WIND DEFLECTOR

1.Open glass lid fully.
2.Visually check for proper installation, damaged/deteriorated components, or foreign objects within mechanism. Correct as required for smooth operation.





3.Check for grease at the wind deflector arm (1) and pivot areas. If necessary, apply a sufficient amount of grease for non-binding operation.

4.Check that the wind deflector (1) moves freely within the moonroof unit assembly while manually pressing down and releasing.
If a malfunction is detected, remove the moonroof unit assembly and visually inspect. If damage is found, replace either wind deflector (1) or moonroof unit assembly as required. Refer to
"Removal and Installation" Service and Repair (WIND DEFLECTOR) or RF46, "Removal and Installation" (MOONROOF UNIT ASSEMBLY).

LINK AND WIRE ASSEMBLY

NOTE:
Before replacing a suspect part, make sure it is the source of noise being experienced.
1.Check link to determine if coating film has peeled off excessively enough that substrate is visible. Check also to determine if link is the source of noise. Replace as necessary.
2.Visually check to determine if a sufficient amount of grease has been applied to wire or rail groove. If not, add grease as required.
3.Check wire for any damage or deterioration. If any damage is found, replace moonroof unit assembly.
Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.

WEATHERSTRIP

1.Visually check weatherstrip for damage, deterioration, or deformation.
- Open glass lid partially to inspect front edge of weatherstrip.
- Tilt up glass lid fully to inspect sides and rear edge of weatherstrip.
If any area of the weatherstrip is found to be damaged, replace the glass lid. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Glass Lid.
2.Check for leakage around glass lid.
- Close moonroof lid assembly.
- Pour water around surface to determine area of concern.
- For gaps or misalignment, adjust glass lid to specifications. Refer to ADJUSTMENT in this section.
- For damaged sealing surfaces, either replace glass lid, refer to "Removal and Installation" {LINK_TO:INFOID:0000000008747307} or repair the panel, refer to "High Strength Steel(HSS)" .

DRAIN HOSES











1.Remove the headlining. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.
2.Visually check drain hoses for:
- Proper connection at moonroof unit assembly and drain hose.
- Damage, pinch, cracks or deterioration.
- Proper fastening and routing on body panels.
3.Pour water through drain hoses to determine watertight performance.
If damaged or leaking portions in any drain hose is found, replace entire drain hose as necessary.

ADJUSTMENT


CAUTION:
- Always work with a helper.
- Handle moonroof lid assembly with care to prevent damage.
NOTE:
- For easier and more accurate installation, always mark each point before removal.
- After any adjustment, check moonroof operation and moonroof lid assembly alignment.

Gap Adjustment (Front and Rear)





1.Open sunshade (1).
White arrow indicates : Front

2.Tilt glass lid up.
3.Loosen glass lid bolts (A) (two each on LH and RH sides), then tilt glass lid down (black arrow).
NOTE:
LH side shown; RH side similar.
4.Manually adjust glass lid from outside of vehicle until gaps A-A
and C-C are within specification.
NOTE:
Temporarily loosely tighten glass lid bolts to prevent movement between each adjustment.
5.Tilt glass lid up and down several times using moonroof switch to check that it operates smoothly.
6.Tilt glass lid up and tighten bolts.
NOTE:
First tighten left front bolt, then right rear bolt on glass lid to prevent uneven torque while tightening remaining bolts.
Gap Adjustment (Sides)
The moonroof unit assembly is mounted on locator pins and adjustment from side to side cannot be performed.
Surface Height Adjustment
1.Tilt glass lid up and down several times using moonroof switch to check that it operates smoothly.
2.Check height difference between roof surface and glass lid surface, then compare to specifications.
3.If necessary, adjust height difference by using the following procedure.
a.Loosen glass lid bolts.
b.Manually raise/lower moonroof lid assembly until height difference is within specification.
c.Tilt glass lid up and down several times using moonroof switch to check that it operates smoothly.
d.Tighten glass lid bolts.
NOTE:
First tighten left front bolt, then right rear bolt on glass lid to prevent uneven torque while tightening remaining bolts.
e.After any adjustment, check moonroof operation and glass lid alignment.
