Sunshade

INSPECTION

CHECK FOR MOVING LOAD OF SUNSHADE




1. Attach a spring balance to sunshade edge using a cloth.
2. Pull the spring balance to measure moving load of the sunshade.
Moving load of sunshade:

Specification 18.0 ± 5.0 N (1.8 ± 0.5 kgf, 13 ± 3.7 lbf)

NOTE: Moving load is larger at the beginning of pulling a spring balance, so take a spring balance reading while sunshade sliding smoothly.

3. If moving load exceeds specifications, check the glass lid, sunshade and frame assembly for improper installation.
