Sunroof Motor Removing and Installing

Sunroof Motor and Drive Assembly, Removing and Installing

Removing:






- Unscrew cover and pull forward out of retaining tabs.

- Disconnect electrical connectors for electric motor.






- Remove screws for drive assembly.

Make sure that the washer (between sunroof motor and roof) for screw -5- is also removed.

- Disengage water drain plate and slide toward rear.






- Remove fasteners (arrows).

- Pull water drain plate far enough forward so that it does not hit roof during removal of subassembly.

- Lift subassembly at front and pull out of sunroof opening.


CAUTION!
The front guide is "automatically" offset and pretensioned when installed and, as a result, one end of the guide rail Is higher. Under no circumstances should this be adjusted!
