No.: TSB-02-42A-005
DATE: March, 2002
MODEL: 2000-02 Eclipse

SUBJECT:
SUNROOF JUDDER

PURPOSE

On some affected vehicles, the sunroof may judder or vibrate during opening/closing operation. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace the drive cable assemblies. This bulletin describes how to install the new, improved drive cable assemblies. The new drive cable assemblies have improved shoes to decrease sliding friction. Replacement parts with the improved shoes have a date code mark of 8/13/01 or later. Refer to the PARTS INFORMATION section of this bulletin for how to identify the new shoes.

Do not order a new sunroof assembly to eliminate judder.

Also refer to MMSA Service Video # 82, CD-R 2000-42A-002 for these procedures, except be sure to clean the sunroof rails and apply sunroof grease before installing the drive cables.
