2.  Open sunroof in the slanted position.

3.  Adjust the lower trim strip.

Loosen the front part of the lower trim strip in the direction 

of car's interior to take the rear part off the hook.

6.  Pull up the sunroof panel.

Caution: After removing the sunroof panel, do not turn 

the sunroof switch to the "Open" position. Because the 

window panel will no longer press the roof drip channel 

at this time, the roof drip channel will tilt into the sun-

roof.

Sunroof panel installation

The window panel must be installed at the initial position 
(window panel is closed).
1.  Window panel location 

The mark (indicated by the arrow) on the top of rear guide 

device, which is on the window panel's two sides, must be 

level with the "a" mark on the air guide plate.

The air guide plate must be installed in the guide rail (cannot 

be manually moved).

If there is no guide rail on the air guide plate, please adjust 

it.

2.  Place the sunroof from the top down

3.  Adjust the clearance

Insert six sheets of paper, each of about 0.3 mm thickness, 

around the window panel to make sure that clearances 

around the panel is symmetrical.

4.  Tighten the mounting bolt

Tightening torque: 4.5 N·m.

2.  Adjust the rear part.

b = 0-1 mm, higher than the level position of the sunroof.

The arrow refers to the driving direction (facing forward).

3.  Adjust the window panel weatherstrip.

Use a sheet of paper of 0.3 mm thickness to check whether 

the prestress between the weatherstrip and vehicle body is 

consistent.

(a)  If the prestress is insufficient, use a plastic wedged 

instrument to enlarge the weatherstrip's clearance.

(b)  If the prestress is excessive, use a stick to compress the 

weatherstrip's clearance.

Replace the weatherstrip

1.  Remove the window panel weatherstrip.

2.  Install the weatherstrip.

Start from the center of the rear part and install the new 

weatherstrip onto the window panel from the top down.

Instructions: In order to install the weatherstrip more easily, 

it is suggested to coat soap liquid around window panel first.

If the weatherstrip is installed incorrectly, it will cause the 

upper part's surface be to wavy. The weatherstrip must be cut 

short according to the window panel's perimeter.
