Troubleshooting
Glass Height Adjustment
The roof panel should be even with the glass weather strip, to within 1 ± 0.5 mm (0.04 ± 0.02 in) all the way around. If not, slide the sunshade back, and:
1. Remove the bracket cover.
2. Loosen the nuts, and install the shims between the glass and glass bracket as shown.
Shim thickness: Max. 2 mm (0.08 in)
3. Repeat on opposite side if necessary.
Rear Edge Closing Adjustment
Open the glass about a foot, then close it to check where rear edge begins to rise. If it rises too soon and seats too tightly against the roof panel, or too late and does not seat tightly enough, adjust it.
1. Open the glass fully.
2. Remove the rail covers from both sides, and loosen the nuts.
3. Move the lift-up guides and slide stopper forward or backward, then tighten the nuts, and recheck roof closing. The lift-up guides have pitches of 1 mm (0.04 in) each and can be adjusted 2 pitches forward or backward.
4. If necessary, lower the rear of the headliner, remove the motor, then adjust the inner cables (location of sliders) until they are parallel.
Glass Replacement
1. Slide the sunshade all the way back.
2. Open the glass as shown.
3. Pry out the plug from each bracket cover, remove the screw, and slide the bracket cover off to the rear.
4. Remove the nuts from the glass brackets on both sides.
5. Remove the glass by lifting up and pulling forward as shown.
NOTE: Do not damage the roof panel.
6. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
7. Check for water leaks.
NOTE: Do not use high-pressure water.
Slide Stopper, Lift-up Guide and Glass Bracket Replacement
1. Remove the glass.
2. Remove the motor.
3. Slide the glass bracket to the rear.
4. Remove the rail cover, then remove the slide stopper and lift-up guide.
5. Remove the rail holder cover and sunshade rail holder while lifting the guide rail up.
NOTE: Take care not to bend the guide rail.
6. Slide the glass bracket forward while lifting the guide rail up.
NOTE: Take care not to bend the guide rail.
