- Install 2 nuts on the
roof bow and a nut to each side rail.
- With an assistant, position the sunroof to the roof.
- Use the sunroof retainers
in order to secure the sunroof to the roof.
The sunroof retainers
are used in order to assist in the assembly of the sunroof at the assembly
plant. If a retainer is broken, do not replace the retainer.
- Ensure that all broken retainer pieces are removed from the vehicle
in order to prevent a rattle noise.
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.
