Instructions for Repair and
Adjustment of Sun Roof.
1. Adjustment
of panel align-
ment:
(a) Front, left and
right: Release
lining frame at the
front and
push
back.
Loosen
the fixing
screws for the slide
at the front
end. Adjust
the milled nuts and
re-tighten the
fixing screws.
(b) Rear,
left
and right:
Loosen the
bolt on
the
closing mechanism.
The
bolt
can
be moved to the
desired position
in the slot in
the closing
mechanism by turn-
ing the adjusting
screw to the
left or right.
Re-tighten the nuts
on the bolt.
2. Panel rises
on one side only:
Examine
the ramp
in the drainage
channel in
the
frame
to see whether
it is properly aligned
with the lifting
element
at the
rear
end
of the panel.
To do this, slide
the panel back
completely.
The
point where the
lifting element makes
contact with
the
ramp can
be clearly seen on the
rearward slope
of the ramp. Adjust
the ramp and if
necessary, the lifting
element
on the
panel, so
that working
point of
the lifting element
lies at the
middle
point of
the ramp.
3.
Panel
does not run true:
Close
the roof.
Determine which
side of the panel jams.
Open the
roof again.
Remove alloy cover of
drive
mechanism. Lift
out
the
spring
plate
over the pinion. To pull
forward
the right
hand side of the
sliding
roof
panel, lift the cable at
the
front (looking in
the direction of
travel)
of the pinion,
pull it one or
more
teeth to the
left and replace.
Note:
Do not accidentally
move
the
panel while
the cable is off the
pinion. Slide back the
spring
plate
over the drive
pinion. Screw back
the
drive
mechanism cover.
4.
Damaged drive cable
includes
remove and replace
panel and push
back
lining.
Remove the lining frame,
unscrew
front slides, remove
closing mech-
anism from the skid at the
rear,
lift out the outer roof
panel.
Remove the
cover of the drive
mechanism
box, spring
plate over
drive
pinion, connector
rails and
upper parts
of the
corner rails. Pull
out
the cable with the
rear slide from
the
guide rail. Install a
new cable,
lubricated
with
grease of molyb-
denum
disulphate.
(Replacement
cables may be
longer
but never
shorter than the original). Reinstall
parts and panel, adjust the cable
so that the forward edge of the panel
is parallel with the forward edge of
the roof aperture.
If necessary
adjust as indicated in paragraph 3.
5. The joints of the cable
slides are out of alignment
(guide rail, corner and connector
rails and cable box) and are
jamming the cable drive: Loosen
the screws holding the guide rails,
corner and connector rails and cable
box a few turns. Retighten the
screws one by one, continually
activating the drive mechanism.
Where necessary realign those points
where resistance is felt.
Checking for alignment of the ramp
and lifting elements (see paragraph 2).
If
one
cable
needs
replacing,
replace both to assure a parallel
travel of the roof panel.
LOWER FRONT GUIDE CONNECTIGI
LUBRICATION
During cable replacement, lubri-
cate the cables with petroleum jelly
or vaseline. It is not necessary to
lubricate the top surface of the
guide rail covers or the slide tracks.
Periodically,
clean off any residue
that may accumulate on the guide
rail covers.
DRAIN TUBES
During
regular maintenance check
to ensure the drainage holes at the
front corners of the roof panel frame
are open and free of foreign material.
If the
drains
are plugged
,
they may
be
cleaned with an air hose (low
pressure)
or with a flexible wire.
If the drain tubes can not be
cleaned in this manner, they must be
replaced.
When
cleaning with an air hose,
use low pressure
so as not to damage
or detach the plastic
tubes.
