REPLACING SUN ROOF WEATHERSTRIP
Adjusting the glass sun roof weatherstrip when replacing it.
The weatherstrip seal lip must be removed from the rear edge and sides of the sun root when the weatherstrip is replaced. The seal lip should only be left
between the rails at the front of the sun roof. The lip is to prevent the sun root from "lifting" when driving at high speed.
Warning! Take care not to scratch the sun roof when removing it.
