Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Cable Guide Alignment
If roof panel jams during operation, check both front corner lower cable guides for alignment with front and side guides. If necessary, shim lower corner guides for alignment with adjacent guides. If panel fails to rise, the joints of cable slides are out of alignment and are jamming cable drive. Loosen screws retaining guide rails, corner and connector rails, and cable drive housing a few turns. Retighten screws one by one, continually activating the drive mechanism. Where necessary, realign those points where resistance is felt.
