J 41718 Sunroof Timing Pins

Important: This sunroof system is timed from the factory in order to allow the actuator to shut off automatically when the sunroof window reaches a certain position.

Anytime the sunroof actuator requires removal from the sunroof module, ensure that the sunroof window is in the fully closed position and the sunroof timing pins are installed.

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.
