Removing


Note

If the sunroof motor is malfunctioning, the hatch can be operated manually with a screwdriver.



1. Open the sunroof hatch so that the cover strip retaining screws are accessible.

2. Remove the screws holding the cover strip.

3. Close the hatch and tilt the rear edge.

4. Remove the rear edge of the cover strip by pulling it towards the centre of the car so that the clips come undone. Pull the cover strip out through the rear edge of the hatch. Be careful not to scratch the roof.

5. Remove the cover strips over the screws on the left and right-hand sides of the sunroof hatch. The strips are secured with clips, pull them straight towards the centre of the car.


6. Close the sunroof hatch.

Note

Check that the sunroof hatch is properly closed. The wires' slide mountings should be centred between the marks on the slide rail.

The hatch must be closed when the new motor is fitted, as the motor is delivered in the closed position.



7. Work is made easier by first removing the sun visors. It is then easier to bend down the headlining without damaging it.

Unplug the mirror light connector.


8. Remove the lamp glass by inserting a screw driver into the clip recesses in the front edge and carefully prising it out.

Note

Proceed with great care, as the glass could easily crack if removed incorrectly.

Be careful not to scratch the cover.
