Load Compartment Cover Moves Upward Unevenly
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles that the load compartment cover moves upward unevenly, this may be caused by out of specification welding of the guide rail. This can cause the guide rail to enlarge and the flexible shaft can move out of the guide rail. In some cases, the departure of the shaft from the guide rail (Figure 1) is detectable. A more precise inspection of the removed guide rail may be necessary to detect if the welding process has not melted the guide rail material as shown (Figure 2). Should weld appear as in Figure 2, replace guide cover to resolve. For comparison, refer to Figure 3 for correct welding.
