The clear section must remain in closed position during the whole fitting procedure.

1. Using suitable equipment, cut and level the beads of sealant in the sliding roof housing leaving a thickness of between 0.25 and 1 mm, taking care not to scratch the paintwork. The thickness of the sealant remaining in the housing will act as a support for the new bonding.

2. Thoroughly clean the sun roof housing using an air jet and degrease fully using heptane.

When bonding more than 60 minutes after the sealant bead has been cut and levelled, the surface of the sealant itself must be treated using the special activating product and it is necessary to wait for 15 minutes before fixing the windscreen.

- If necessary, touch up the paintwork.

1. Open the new sliding roof blind.

2. Degrease the adhesive surface of the new sun roof using heptane.

3. Check that the shims are fitted.

1. Apply two suction pads on the outer sides of the sliding roof, as shown in the picture.

1. With the help of one operator outside the vehicle and another operator inside, test fit the sliding roof (1a).

If necessary, screw the locating pins (1c) into the sliding roof housings (1d) to facilitate the centring of the sliding roof in the housings (1d) when moving it close to the body.

1. Working on both sides of the vehicle, temporarily place the front side mouldings (1a) in position and engage the inner retainers (1b)

1. Centre the sliding roof (1a) on the side section irons (1b) of the body; in addition position it with the the clear section 5 mm away from the rear section iron (1c) of the body, as shown in the picture.

2. Check that the front end (2a) of the front section of the sliding roof is about 2 mm higher than the windscreen, as shown in the picture.

3. Check that the rear end (3a) of the sliding roof is about 1 mm lower than the sheet metal roof, as shown in the picture.

4. When the sun roof has been centred, mark the position of the sun roof in relation to the housing using strips of adhesive tape.

5. Cut the adhesive tape strips.

- Working on both sides of the vehicle, gradually lift the front side mouldings and release the inner retainers with the special tool.

- Remove the sliding roof.

1. Using an air gun, apply a bead of sealant (1a) along the perimeter of the sliding roof and the front channel (1b) as evenly as possible.

Start the operation from the central area (1c) of the front side and continue without breaks along the entire perimeter of the sliding roof.

1. With the help of one operator outside the vehicle and another one inside and following the instructions for the previous test fitting, place the sliding roof in position immediately after applying the sealant then let it bed in.

1. Position the belt (1a) as illustrated and tension it to exert even pressure on the sliding roof, to guarantee that the sliding roof frame and the frame housing are correctly connected.

Check that measurements shown in the picture are reached.

- Before refitting the vehicle's interior and exterior elements, check that there are no infiltration points by carrying out a water leakage test.

Do not move the vehicle for the time recommended by the sealant manufacturer.
