Removal Procedure
- Cycle the glass panel to the rear.
- Carefully remove the tape covering the rear deflector pins on both sides of the wind deflector.
- Using a small flat-bladed tool and a pocket magnet, remove the E-clips (2) securing the pins (1) to the deflector arms.
- Apply downward pressure on both sides of the deflector arms in order to remove the four rearward pins (1,2) from the deflector arms.

- Install the screws in order to retain the front rail to the roof housing assembly.
- Position the deflector arms to the sunroof housing.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the screws to 3 N·m (27 lb in).
Important: Ensure the forward retainer springs are positioned under the deflector arms properly.
