SUNSHADE

INSPECTION

1. CHECK FOR MOVING LOAD OF SUNSHADE
1. Attach a spring scale to sunshade edge using a cloth.







2. Pull the spring scale 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 scale, so take a spring scale reading while sunshade sliding smoothly.

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