ADJUSTING THE POSITION THE SUNROOF GLASS

NOTA: To adjust the position of the sunroof glass two operators are required, one operating inside the vehicle and one outside.

The operator on the outside centres the glass in relation to its housing on the car roof and flush with the roof surface; the operator on the inside tightens the adjustment screws.

  • Open the roof to the "quarterlight" position.
  • Remove the plates protecting the sliding mechanism.
  • Close the roof.
  1. Slacken the six crosswise adjustment nuts.
  2. Position the glass correctly.
  3. Tighten the six nuts.
  4. Slacken the four vertical roof adjustment screws.
  5. Position the glass so that it is flush with the car roof surface.
  6. Tighten the four screws.
