Sunshades are being replaced in the field when not necessary because they are being damaged during the removal and installation process. Many sunshades are being reinstalled improperly during repairs to the overhead system causing the sunshades to be loose or fall out.

The Sunshade Replacement procedure in SI (Document ID #740348) has been revised to help reduce the number of cases of damage to the sunshades during removal and installation.

Do not pry or use excessive force to remove the sunshades as this may damage the roof sheet metal at the sunshade attaching point. If necessary, straighten the roof sheet metal before reinstalling the sunshade. If the sheet metal is bent, it will result in a sunshade that is loose or it may fall out.
