Condition

Some customers may comment that the headliner is wet or damp in front by the map light/sunroof switch.

Cause

This condition may be caused by the sunroof being out of adjustment in the front. This causes water to get past the seal and wick though the drive cable housing tube, dripping on the map light /sunroof switch and the headliner.

Correction

Adjust the sunroof following the procedure below.

1. Open the sunshade.

2. Close the sunroof glass.

3. Loosen the adjustment screws.

4. Adjust the front of the sunroof glass flush to 0.5 mm (0.02 in) above the roof panel. Tighten the screws.

5. Adjust the rear of the sunroof glass flush to 0.5 mm (0.02 in) above the roof panel. Tighten the screws.

6. Open the sunroof.





7. Locate the area under the side frame rail (1), where the sunroof drive cable enters the drive cable housing.





Important
To prevent water entry into the sunroof drive cable housing, ensure that the aerosol can application straw (1) is positioned into the opening of the housing (2). Lubricant MUST be applied well into the cable housing.

8. Apply Super Lube(R) to the sunroof cable at the opening where it enters the drive cable housing (as shown in the illustration above).

9. Return the sunroof and sunshade to the close position.
