NOTE: Both the power sliding glass motor and the power shade motor must be the same build level. For information on the build level of the motor, refer to the REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION of that motor.

NOTE: The jumper wiring harness is different on the older level (black and silver) and the newer level (blue and white) motors. They are not interchangeable. Make sure to match the jumper wiring harness with the correct level of motor.

Remove the headliner. For additional information, refer to INTERIOR TRIM AND ORNAMENTATION .
Disconnect the electrical connectors to the roof opening panel sliding glass motor, shade motor and main harness.
