WATER DRAINAGE AND WIND NOISE DIAGNOSIS
The sliding glass panel is designed to minimize
seal water entry with a snug fit between the roof and
the seal. The fit can be checked by inserting a piece
of paper between the roof and the seal. The piece of
paper should have some resistance when pulled out
when the glass panel is in the closed position. The
sunroof housing will drain off a minimum amount of
water. Excessive wind noise could result if the gap
clearances are exceeded. The sunroof glass panel may
need to be adjusted. (Refer to 23 - BODY/SUNROOF/
GLASS PANEL - DESCRIPTION).
Adequate drainage is provided by a drain trough in
the sunroof housing which encircles the sliding glass
panel and leads to drain hoses. If a wet headliner or
other water leak complaints are encountered, before
performing any adjustments, first ensure that the
drainage system is not plugged or disconnected. Use
a pint container to pour water into the sunroof hous-
ing drain trough. If water flow is restricted, use com-
pressed air to blow out any material plugging the
drain system. Retest system again.
To further check for a disconnected drain hose:
(1) Remove A-pillar trim, sun visors, and map
lamps/mini console.
(2) Remove sunroof opening trim lace. (Refer to 23

(3) Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to
sunroof housing drain tubes. (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
TERIOR/HEADLINER - REMOVAL).
(4) Repair as necessary.

Extreme care must be taken when removing the
motor from the sunroof module assembly or this
timing may be thrown off causing damage to the
sunroof system. Anytime the motor needs to be
removed from the module assembly the sunroof
window must be in the FULLY CLOSED POSITION if
possible.
If glass panel is not in the fully closed position and
the motor is removed or inoperative, (Refer to 23 -
