underflush , raise up rear corners (1) and (3) evenly until the low point along the rear
edge (2) is 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) underflush . Corners (1) and (3) cannot exceed 2.0 (0 .08
in .) overflush (Fig. 4).
5. Adjust the front corners (4) and (6) to flush or underflush . Measure the lowest point
along the front edge (5), if it exceeds 3.5 mm (0 .14 in.) underflush , raise up front

the feeler gauge in order to reach to the back edge of the sunroof glass. The
temporary handle must be made of a non-marring material of thinner dimension than
the 1.0 mm (0 .04 in .) feeler gauge (Fig. 6).
