Subject: POWER SUNROOF


1986 6000 STE MODELS
A power sunroof (Option CF5) is available on coupes and sedans and is electrically operated from a switch located at the center of the roof. When the switch is depressed rearward, the glass panel slides into the storage space between the roof and the headlining. Depressing the switch forward will cause the glass panel to move to the closed position. If the switch is pressed forward again while the glass is in the closed position, the rear edge of the glass will raise to the vent position. To close the glass from the vent position, push the switch rearward. The switch must be depressed for each separate operation.

FIGURE 1 -DRAIN TUBES:




The sliding panel is designed to have a controlled water entry at the seal.. Adequate drainage is provided by four drain hoses, one at each corner of the sunroof housing (refer to Figure 1). A properly adjusted glass panel should result in a snug fit between the seal and the roof. The fit can be checked by using a feeler gauge inserted between the roof and the seal at the rear of the glass panel. Maintenance of this minimal gap is essential to assure that more water does not enter the vehicle than the sunroof drains can handle. Also, objectionable windnoise could result if gap clearances are exceeded. All glass panel to roof adjustments are made by either adjusting the height of the glass, or adjusting the crown of the roof.
