Installation
Installation procedure is the reverse of removal, except
for the following:
- Install new mounting screws. Do not reuse the mounting screws.
- After installation, calibrate the panoramic roof (refer to procedure).
- Use a flashlight to look inside the hole in the front car cross seal. Inspect for
an e-coated metal bracket that has black felt tape attached to the rear edge:Caution: When bending the latching tab, use a sheet metal bending tool, or similar tool, with wide clamps that are wrapped in flocked or felt tape to avoid damaging the painted surface of the tab.
1 Clamps covered in felt tape Caution: Take care not to crack the glass when adjusting the tab.- If a bracket is present, bend the latching tab on the moving glass frame so
that it has a slight downward angle. This allows the latching tab to fit
under the bracket when the moving glass is closed.
1 Moving glass fully closed 2 1.5 - 2 mm 3 Latching tab 4 Bracket - If no bracket is present, bend the latching tab so that it is
straight.Note: For more information on installing a bracket to prevent wind noise from the panoramic roof, refer to:
- North American vehicles: SB-13-24-006, Panoramic Wind Noise, North America
- European vehicles: SB-13-24-006, Panoramic Wind Noise, Europe
- If a bracket is present, bend the latching tab on the moving glass frame so
that it has a slight downward angle. This allows the latching tab to fit
under the bracket when the moving glass is closed.
- With the moving glass closed, have an assistant sit in the vehicle and firmly press up on the moving glass. If the glass moves, readjust the latching tab.
