INSPECTION

CHECK FOR MOVING LOAD OF SUNSHADE

Attach a spring scale to sunshade edge using a cloth.







Pull the spring scale back to measure moving load of the sunshade.

Moving load of rear sunshade:
Less than 24.5±4.9 N (2.5±0.5 kgf, 5.5±1.1 lbf)

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

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