REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> SUNROOF MOTOR REMOVAL

CAUTION

Always close the roof lid glass fully before removing the
sunroof motor. If the fully-closed positions of the roof lid
glass and the sunroof motor are not the same, the sunroof
will not operate properly.

NOTE: If there is a problem with the sunroof motor so that the
roof lid glass cannot close fully, use an Allen wrench to turn the
gear section of the sunroof motor to fully close the roof lid
glass.

<<B>> DRAIN HOSE REMOVAL
Tie a cord to the end of the drain hose, and wind tape around
the tie until it is smooth. Then pull the drain hose out into the
wheel housing.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION
1. Tie the cord that was used during removal to the end of the

drain hose, and wind tape around it until it is smooth.

2. Pull the cord to pull through the drain hose.
