CORRECTIVE ACTION

Separate the sunshade rail from the moon roof drain panel with EPT Sealer ST (see REQUIRED MATERIALS).

1. Tilt up the back of the moonroof. Do not slide it back.

2. Slide the sunshade all the way back.





3. Cut two 40 x 15 mm pieces of EPT Sealer 5T. Fold them in half lengthwise, sticky side together.

4. Pull up on the moon roof drain panel and insert a piece of EPT between it and the sunshade rail.

5. While still pulling up on the drain panel, use a small screwdriver to push the EPT completely under the drain panel. Make sure the EPT is on the rail and not overlapping onto the sunshade.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 on the other side.
