Sunroof / Moonroof Cable: Service and Repair
Removal and installation of teleflex cable
Removal
1 Remove sun roof lid. See: Sunroof / Moonroof Panel/Service and Repair
2 Operate sun roof switch in direction of "close", let teleflex cable run forward all the way and pull it out.
Note: If the teleflex cable cannot be moved with the electric motor, use the emergency winder.
3 If the teleflex cable cannot be moved in this manner either, insert a mandrel in the hole for the connecting clamp and remove the cable by turning
the mandrel clockwise and pulling the cable at the same time.
4 Stop turning when too much force is required, since otherwise the cable will be stretched and could damage the teleflex tube. In this case the
electric drive gearbox must be dismantled. See: Sunroof / Moonroof Motor/Service and Repair
5 If the teleflex cable cannot be removed even after dismantling the gearbox, the teleflex tube has been damaged and must be removed. See:
Sunroof / Moonroof Cable Housing/Service and Repair
Installation
6 Lubricate coil at end of new teleflex cable with MB slide paste thoroughly and run it into teleflex tube carefully.
