1. Remove the sunroof glass panel.
2. Remove the sunroof actuator.
3. Align the timing hole in the cable/cam mechanism to the front screw hole used for mounting the sunroof glass panel, using a small flat bladed tool to push the cable/cam mechanism forward or rearward.

IMPORTANT: The sunroof timing pins must not be removed until the sunroof actuator is installed.

4. Install the sunroof timing pins to the front screw hole used for mounting the sunroof glass panel on each side of the sunroof J41718.




5. Inspect the sunroof actuator gears for proper alignment.
The position of the timing hole on the white nylon gear must be located on the centerline between the two gears. This is the sunroof closed position.

6.1. Reconnect the electrical connectors to the sunroof actuator with out installing the sunroof actuator.
6.2. Reconnect the electrical connector to the headliner in order to have power to the sunroof switch.
6.3. Have the assistant operate the sunroof switch and cycle the sunroof actuator to the proper gear alignment, while you the technician hold the sunroof actuator.
6.4. Install the sunroof actuator but do not install the headliner until after the system operation is checked.
6.5. Remove the sunroof timing pins.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the sunroof glass panel. Slight inward or outward pressure might be required on the sunroof glass panel mounting arms to simulate the sunroof glass panel being installed.

6.6. Have the assistant operate the sunroof switch and cycle the sunroof actuator to all the sunroof positions while you the technician watch and inspect the operation of the sunroof.
