WATER TEST

M1426000900155

Check if there are any leaks in the sunroof by the following pro-
cedure.
1. Fully close the roof lid glass.
2. Adjust the water pressure so that water comes out of the

hose to a height of approximately 50 cm (19.7 inches) when
the hose is held vertically facing upwards.

3. Hold the end of the hose approximately 30 cm (11.8 inches)

above the roof and let the water run onto the weatherstrip for
5 minutes or more.

4. Check that there is no water leak while letting the water run

onto the roof. Some water will leak around the roof lid glass,
but do not judge this as a malfunction. If the water does not
leak through the sunroof housing drip channel, it is normal.

5. In the event of leakage, check the drain pipe, weatherstrip

contact and others.

SUNROOF FIT ADJUSTMENT

M1426001000155

With the sunroof in the closed position, adjust the sunroof glass
to 1 mm (0.04 inch) below roof surface at front of the glass and
1 mm (0.04 inch) above roof surface at rear of the glass and
tighten the sunroof glass attaching screws. Check that the
clearance between the roof lid glass and body edge is even
around the circumference.
