2 If the sunroof panel is being renewed, undo the hinge plate retaining screws and remove it from the pedestal block. Remove the handle pivot retainers in a similar manner and withdraw the adjusting washer(s) from the handle screw block, then detach the block from the panel. Pull free the seal and pedestal block covers from the panel.
3 Refitting is a reversal of the removal procedure, but note the following:
4 When fitting a new seal to the roof tray flange, the seal ends must abut in the centre of the rear flange. Cut the seal to length as required.
