SUNROOF MOTOR
NOTICE: This sunroof system is timed from the factory so that the motor shuts off automatically when the glass panel reaches a certain position.
Extreme care must be taken when removing the motor from the sunroof module or this timing may be thrown off causing damage to the sunroof system.
Anytime the motor needs to be removed from the module assembly the glass panel must be in the fully closed position.
