Roof Opening Panel Motor - Shade

Roof Opening Panel Motor - Shade

Removal and Installation

NOTICE: The gearing on the shade motor (silver label or white label) is different than the sliding glass motor (black label or blue label). If the shade motor or the sliding glass motor is installed in the incorrect location, the sunshade and/or glass panel travel distance will be affected and damage to some of the components may result.

NOTICE: The roof opening panel shade motor contains ceramic magnets that may fail at any time if cracked. Any roof opening panel shade motor that has been dropped onto a hard surface during removal or installation should be replaced with a new motor.

NOTE: Both the power sliding glass motor and the power shade motor must be the same build level. If installing a new motor, replace a silver label (shade motor) with a silver label (shade motor). If a silver label (shade motor) is not available, both motors need to be replaced with a white label (shade motor) and a blue label (sliding glass motor) with a new wiring jumper harness. If a white label (shade motor) is present, then the motor can be replaced separately.
