General Information

 

Sunroofs manufactured by "Webasto" and "Rockwell 
(Meritor)" are installed. 

 

Sunroofs of both manufacturers cannot be distinguished 
regarding function/operation and when installed on vehicle 
have barely any outwardly visible characteristics to 
distinguish them.

Function 

 

60-1, Function

 . 

 

However, there is a fundamentally strong difference of both 
sunroofs regarding construction and design, that there is a 
difference for most repair procedures between both 
sunroofs.

 

During replacement of a complete slide/tile sunroof, 
slide/tile sunroof can be replaced without noting 
manufacturer.

 

Always differentiate between both manufacturers of 
slide/tile sunroofs when performing repairs or servicing 
work and ordering replacement parts.

Sunroof is opened and closed via rotary switch when

ignition is switched on/tilted out and closed by pressing and 
pulling.

 

After switching off ignition, slide/tile sunroof can still be 
opened and closed as long until drivers or passengers door 
is opened.

 

On rotary switch, there are markings for preset tilt positions 
of glass panel. However, any other intermediate tilt position 
can be selected by turning switch in clockwise direction.

In switch position - 1 - , opening of slide/tile sunroof in so-
called comfort position decreases driving wind noise which 
can occur at complete opening in switch position - 2 - . 

 

Tilt-up/closing of sunroof is performed as long as switch is 
pressed/pulled or until respective end position of glass 
panel is reached.

 

Sunroof is equipped with a closing force limit in area of 
window. When an obstruction is met during closing 
sequence, roof opens again by itself.

 

As of calendar week 32. 1998, a new motor and rotary 
switch was introduced. For this change, glass panel is also 
tilted up and closed using rotary switch.

 

In addition, glass panel is closed by pressing rotary switch, 
as long as rotary switch remains pressed.

Note: 

Motor and switch can only be recognized on new 
replacement part numbers and must not be installed with 
older versions.  
 

In addition, there is an emergency close function. If there 
are problems closing, sunroof can be forced closed by 
pressing preselector, which must be located in "Sunroof 
closed" position.
