Clean the side rails and the front drainage grooves regularly to avoid the deposition of
dust, sand, leaves and other debris, and prevent the drainage holes from being
blocked by these debris, resulting in poor drainage of the sunroof.
■
During washing process, do not rinse the seals directly with a high- voltage water gun;
otherwise, it may not only cause the deformation or even damage to the seals, but also
cause water entered into the car.
■
In winter, the sunroof may be frozen; in this case, if the sunroof is opened forcibly, it
will damage the seals or other parts of the sunroof. The car should be heated for a
while, and the air conditioning heater system should be turned on to speed up the
melting of snow and ice on the sunroof. After the car is heated to a certain temperature,
the sunroof can be opened. Do not close the sunroof immediately after washing the
car in winter; must wipe the residual water on the sunroof completely to prevent the
sunroof from freezing.
■
Do not open the sunroof completely when driving on extremely bumpy roads;
otherwise, the excessive vibration of the sunroof and the guide rails may cause
deformation of the relevant parts, and even damage to the motor. In addition, do not
open the sunroof when it is raining or the car is cleaned.
