SUNROOF — Removal Procedures (Sunroof lid / Shade / Sunroof assembly / Link & wire)

BF-43prose procedure

Sunroof teardown is sequential — lid first, then shade, then sunroof assembly (after headlining), then link & wire assembly. Always work with a helper (heavy + risk of dropping glass). Mark all alignment points before removing anything.

Continued from BF-42

NOTE

After any adjustment, check sunroof operation and lid alignment. Handle finisher plate and glass lid with care so not to damage it. It is desirable for easy installation to mark each point before removal.
