SERVICE INFORMATION

If the sunroof will lift upward into the "tilt" position but will not slide to the rear, this may be caused by improper adjustment of the "foot" at the rear of the lifter mechanism, or improper placement of the sunroof panel on the lifter mechanism. Use the following procedure to ensure correct sunroof adjustment and operation.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Perform steps 1 through 6 with the sunroof in the "tilt position.

1. Un-snap and remove the right and left hand plastic side covers. (These cover the bolts that hold the glass in position).

2. Remove the bolts that secure the glass. There are three bolts on the left hand side and three bolts on the right hand side.

3. Remove and set aside the glass panel.

4. If any rearward movement is possible on either side of the sunroof mechanism, pull the lifter arm forward until it clicks.

5. Activate the sunroof switch and run the sunroof track to the full open position.





8. Using a 2.5 mm Alien wrench, loosen the lifter mechanism "foot" at the rear of the lifter and slide forward as shown in Figure 3.





9. Run the lifter mechanism down by pushing the sunroof switch toward "down/open" until the top of the "foot" is flush with the top of the sunroof rail block as shown in Figure 4.

10. Grab the lifter mechanism and push or pull rearward to remove any slack in the mechanism.

11. Slide the "foot" rearward until it comes in contact with the sunroof rail block. Re-tighten the Allen screw.

12. Cycle the sunroof into the tilt position and back through a complete sunroof cycle. Check for any gap between the "foot" and the sunroof rail block. If any gap appears, repeat the procedure beginning at Step 7.

13. Return the sunroof to the closed or "zero" position.

14. Re-install the glass panel in the opening, allowing the glass panel to center itself while supporting the corners flush to the outside roof panel.





15. Open and close the sunroof several times. When fully closed, make sure the front latches and that the glass is flush with the outside roof panel as shown in Figure 5.
