Installing the Roof Panel
{
WARNING:
An improperly attached roof panel may fall into or
fly off the vehicle. You or others could be injured.
After installing the roof panel, always check that it
is firmly attached by pushing up on the underside
of the panel. Check now and then to be sure the
roof panel is firmly in place.
Notice: If you drop or rest a roof panel on its edges,
the roof panel, paint and/or weatherstripping may
be damaged. Always place the roof panel in the
stowage receivers after removing it from the
vehicle.
In most cases, it makes it easier if two people install the
roof panel.
1. Park on a level surface and set the parking brake.
Shift an automatic transmission into P (Park). Shift
a manual transmission into N (Neutral).
2. Check that the front release latches and the rear
release latch on the vehicle's roof opening are in
their opened positions before attempting to install
the roof panel.
3. To remove the roof panel from the rear storage
area of the vehicle, pull up on the rear edge and
remove it from the storage area.
4. Carefully place the roof panel over the top of the
vehicle.
5. Position the rear edge of the roof panel to the
weatherstrip on the back of the roof opening.
Then align and fit the pins at the rear of the roof
panel inside the openings in the rear overhead
weatherstrip. Gently lower the front edge of the
roof panel to the front of the roof opening.
