Place the moon roof cross member reinforcement bracket from the kit onto the moon roof cross member, center and retain with clamps (Figures 1
and 2).
NOTE
DO NOT CLAMP ON THE MOON ROOF PANEL OR SUNSHADE PANEL ALUMINUM TRACKS AS THIS CAN CAUSE DEFORMATION
AND/OR DAMAGE.
NOTE
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS PROCEDURE WHEN DRILLING IS REQUIRED, USE A DRILL STOP. BEGIN BY SETTING THE DRILL
STOP AT 1/2" (13 MM). THE DRILL STOP CAN BE ADJUSTED TO DRILL SLIGHTLY DEEPER IF NEEDED. DAMAGE TO THE ROOF
COULD OCCUR IF DRILLED TOO DEEP.
6.
Using a 1/8" drill bit with stop, drill through the moon roof cross member using the rivet holes in the reinforcement bracket as a guide (Figure 2).
7.
Prepare the TA-1 Motorcraft Metal Bonding Adhesive. Insert adhesive cartridge into the dispensing gun. Squeeze a small amount of adhesive out
until each side is flowing from cartridge. This will level the plungers. Attach the mixing tip and dispense a small amount of adhesive to verify it is
evenly mixed and that color is consistent.
NOTE
PERFORM STEPS 8 AND 9 ON ONE SIDE AT A TIME.
