Repair Procedure
1. First tilt up the sunroof glass, and then remove the six (6) sunroof glass mounting nuts, then carefully remove sunroof glass from the sunroof assembly and store in a safe location until reassembly.
2. Tilt down the sunroof guide with the sunroof switch.
3. Fold a standard business card to approximately 0.6-0.8 in. (1.5-2 cm) as shown in the photo, and then insert the folded area between the roof panel (A) and sunroof rail (B). Slowly slide the business card along the gap to check whether it passes smoothly or with excessive resistance.
Repeat this procedure on the opposite side.
4. If the business card passes smoothly, no further action will be required. If the card moves with excessive resistance; carefully adjust the gap between the sunroof rail (B) and the roof panel (A) by following the next steps.
5. In order to properly protect the roof panel paint during repair, attach tape or stickers (D) on the appropriate areas of the roof panel, and to protect the sunroof rail, lean the supplied metal pad (E) against the sunroof rail.
NOTICE
Attach tape or stickers to both sides of the recessed area (C) of the roof panel as shown in the photo.
Shorter pivot bar head is used to adjust the front recessed area (1).
Longer pivot bar head is used to adjust rear recessed area (2).
CAUTION
Do not use the pivot bar tool on bare roof panel. Always use a piece of tape or appropriate protective sticker.
6. Fit applicable end of the pivot bar head onto the roof panel as shown in the photo. Slowly move the pivot bar upward until the pivot bar tool head makes contact with the metal pad as shown in the photos.
7. After adjusting panel, recheck the interference with the business card as performed in step 3.
8. Reinstall the sunroof glass in reverse order of removal, and adjust as needed. Then check the clearance between the roof panel and sunroof glass to make sure fit is correct.
