Operation


Open operation

1.  By rotating the drive gear in the sunroof motor, the drive cables operate in conjunction with the rotation.

2.  When the drive cables operate, the sliders move to the rear of the decoration link grooves, and the decoration links and glass panel lower.

3.  When the decoration links lower, the securing pins installed to the decoration links are released and the glass panel opens by the decoration links sliding the frames corresponding to the movement of the sliders.

Close operation

1.  By rotating the drive gear in the sunroof motor, the drive cables operate in conjunction with the rotation.

2.  When the drive cables operate, the sliders move forward. Because the securing pins for the decoration links are in the frames and the rise in the decoration links is suppressed at this time, the slider cannot move in the decoration link grooves and the decoration links slide.

3.  When the decoration links slide to the close positions, the sliders move to the front of the decoration link grooves, and the decoration links and glass panel rise and close. Due to this, the securing pins are engaged with the frames.
