Technical Service Bulletin
Technical Background
The development progression of the sunroof assembly has changed such that the replacement components,
specifically the sunroof frame and front sunroof glass panel, may require a modification to complete the assembly
compatibility.

Production Solution
Replacement parts for the front sunroof glass panel and sunroof frame, which will not require modification, are
currently in development.

Service
1. If the sunroof frame and/or front sunroof glass
panel require replacement the water guidance
washer on the sunroof mechanism pivot
protrudes to the extent that the rubber “skirt’ on
the front glass panel also protrudes creating
interference between the glass panel and the

4. Remove the front sunroof glass panel. Using a
small pair of diagonal cutters (side cutters) trim
away the water guidance washer. The washer
must be cut back such that it protrudes no
greater than the pivot pin. Perform this
operation to both sides.

5. Figure 5 shows the removed water guidance
washer trimmed below the pivot pin. Since this
pivot pin is concealed by the front sunroof glass
panel “skirt” it is not necessary to smooth the
edges of the cut surfaces.

Note:
During the modification procedure exercise extreme caution not to scratch or otherwise damage the
surrounding metal components of the sunroof frame and lifting mechanism. Surround the area being
modified with masking tape if necessary.

7.

Note:
Ensure that all plastic fragments from the water guidance washer created during the modification are
removed completely. Use a vacuum cleaner if necessary. Stray plastic fragments from this modification that
remain will cause permanent damage to the sunroof frame mechanism.

8. Reinstall the front sunroof glass panel and adjust it according to the specifications in ElsaPro. Remember to
set the sunroof panel and rollershade end stop adaptation after reassembly using the sunroof panel and
rollershade switches. Refer to TSB 2054505: 60 Sunroof glass panel or sunroof rollershade do not operate for
instructions.
