Installing the Roof Panel
WARNING
An improperly attached roof panel
may fall into or fly off the vehicle.
You or others could be injured.
After installing the roof panel,
always check that it is firmly
attached by pushing up on the
underside of the panel. Check
now and then to be sure the roof
panel is firmly in place.
If you drop or rest a roof
panel on its edges, the roof panel,
paint and/or weatherstripping
may be damaged. Always place
the roof panel in the stowage
receivers after removing it from
the vehicle.
In most cases, it makes it easier if
two people install the roof panel.
1. Park on a level surface and set
the parking brake. Shift an
automatic transmission into
P (Park). Shift a manual
transmission into N (Neutral).
2. Check that the front release
latches and the rear release
latch on the vehicle's roof
opening are in their opened
positions before attempting to
install the roof panel.
3. To remove the roof panel from
the rear storage area of the
vehicle, pull up on the rear
edge and remove it from the
storage area.
4. Carefully place the roof panel
over the top of the vehicle.
5. Position the rear edge of the roof
panel to the weatherstrip on the
back of the roof opening. Then
align and fit the pins at the rear
of the roof panel inside the
openings in the rear overhead
Keys, Doors, and Windows
weatherstrip. Gently lower the
front edge of the roof panel to
the front of the roof opening.
6. Turn the front release handles
inward so that they latch to the
closed position.
7. Push up on the handle of the
rear roof release handle to latch
its hook in the closed position.
8. Push and pull the roof panel up
and down and side to side to
ensure the roof panel is securely
installed.
