Sunroof / Moonroof Weatherstrip: Service and Repair
Moonroof Glass Weatherstrip Replacement
1. Remove the moonroof glass. See: Roof and Associated Components/Sunroof / Moonroof/Service and Repair
2. Place a piece of masking tape (A) on the middle of the front edge of the moonroof glass (B). Make sure that the tape is on the glass only, and is not
touching the weatherstrip.
3. Place a mark (C) on the masking tape that aligns with the seam (D) of the weatherstrip.
4. Push down on the top of the old weatherstrip with your thumb until a small section separates from the moonroof glass. Once a section has started
to separate, grip it and pull outward, working around the moonroof glass until the weatherstrip is completely removed (note the locations of the
holes in the weatherstrip).
5. Align the seam (A) of the new weatherstrip (B) to the mark (C) on the masking tape (D). Make sure the holes are pointed in the same direction as
noted in step 4.
6. Press the ridge of the new weatherstrip into the groove on the moonroof glass starting at the seam. Work toward one corner; then go back to the
middle and work toward the opposite corner. Be careful not to stretch the weatherstrip.
7. Continue pressing along one side, from corner to corner; then press along the opposite side, from corner to corner.
8. At the rear of the moonroof glass, continue pressing from one corner to the middle; then press from the opposite corner to the middle until the strip
is completely installed.
9. Reinstall the moonroof glass. See: Roof and Associated Components/Sunroof / Moonroof/Service and Repair
10. Check for proper fit of the new weatherstrip by opening and closing the moonroof.
