   1. Install the sliding roof weatherstrip.

      

      *a	Joint	*b	Alignment Mark
      *c	Middle Mark	*d	Correct
      *e	Incorrect	*f	Pinched
      *g	Exposed	*h	Gap (raised, wavy, etc.)
      	Front Side	-	-

      
      

      1. Position the joint of the sliding roof weatherstrip at the rear center.

      2. Align the alignment marks on the sliding roof weatherstrip with the middle marks at the corners of the sliding roof panel sub-assembly and install the sliding roof weatherstrip.

      3. Install the lip of the sliding roof weatherstrip firmly.

3. INSTALL SLIDING ROOF GLASS SUB-ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. Using a T25 "TORX" socket wrench, temporarily install the sliding roof glass sub-assembly with the 4 screws.

   2. Perform a level check.

      
      
      

      1. Check the difference in level "a" between the roof panel and the upper surface of the sliding roof weatherstrip when the sliding roof glass sub-assembly is fully closed.

         Standard
         Area Measurement Area Measurement A - A 0 + 1.5 mm (0 + 0.0591 in.) 0 - 1.5 mm (0 - 0.0591 in.) B - B 0 + 1.5 mm (0 + 0.0591 in.) 0 - 1.5 mm (0 - 0.0591 in.) C - C 0 + 1.5 mm (0 + 0.0591 in.) 0 - 1.5 mm (0 - 0.0591 in.) D - D 0 + 1.5 mm (0 + 0.0591 in.) 0 - 1.5 mm (0 - 0.0591 in.)

         Tech Tips

         "+" represents the condition that the glass is above the panel level. "-" represents the condition that the glass is below the panel level.

   3. 

      *a

      Even

      Perform a gap check.

      
      

      1. Check the gap between the roof panel and sliding roof glass sub-assembly.

         Note

         The gap must be even all around.

   4. After adjusting the sliding roof glass sub-assembly, using a T25 "TORX" socket wrench, tighten the 4 screws to install the sliding roof glass sub-assembly.

      Torque:

      5.5 N*m  { 56 kgf*cm, 49 in.*lbf }

4. CHECK FOR WATER LEAK

   
   

   1. After adjusting the sliding roof glass sub-assembly, check for water leakage into the vehicle interior.

   2. If there are any leaks, readjust the sliding roof glass sub-assembly.
