Sunroof operating mechanism: Removal - Refitting

PANORAMIC SUNROOF

IMPORTANT

To avoid any risk of triggering when working on or near a pyrotechnic component (airbags or pretensioners), lock the airbag computer using the diagnostic tool.

When this function is activated, all the trigger lines are inhibited and the airbag warning light on the instrument panel lights up continuously (ignition on).

IMPORTANT

Never handle the pyrotechnic systems (pretensioners or airbags) near to a source of heat or naked flame - they may be triggered.

REMOVAL

I - REMOVAL PREPARATION OPERATION

• Lock the airbag computer using the Diagnostic tool (see Fault finding - Replacement of components) (MR 394, 88C, Airbag and pretensioner).
• Remove the sunroof's mobile panel (see 52A, Non-side opening element mechanisms, Sunroof mobile panel: Removal - Refitting, 52A-13).
• Disconnect the battery (see Battery: Removal - Refitting) (MR 392, 80A, Battery).
• Remove the headlining (see Headlining: Removal - Refitting) (MR 393, 71A, Body internal trim).

• Disconnect the supply connector (1) from the sunroof motor.
• Unclip the wiring harness from the clips.
• Protect the vehicle interior.

II - OPERATION FOR REMOVAL OF PART CONCERNED

• Protect the sunroof frame using masking tape.
• Cut the cement bead located on the cross member using a cutting wire with two handles (this operation requires two people).

• Begin cutting the cement bead at the rear from one side of the vehicle (2).

WARNING

When cutting the cement bead, make sure that the wire passes between the panel and the positioning shims on the edge of the sunroof operating mechanism.

• Cut the cement bead (3) at the rear of the vehicle up to the level of the aerial mounting.
• Repeat this operation on the other side before continuing to cut (4) the cement bead.

Note: On reaching the cross member (5) pass the wire between the cross member and the sunroof operating mechanism.
