Technical Manual properly assemble Skywindow

[Stilatos]

i read some time ago that there is a manual on how to properly align and assemble the sunroof. i managed to find the necessary parts finally to fix my sunroof but would like to get a hold of this guide to make sure i assemble it back again correctly. can anyone share this with me?

I'm sure I answered your e-mail about this over a month ago.

Anyway... this is all the information about the sunroof from the eLEARN manual.

Hope you can understand it better than I could.

im sorry davren im a bit hectic at work and must have misunderstood what you said. the weird thing is my copy of elearn doesnt have all this. THx once again!!

 

[Davren]

In the eLEARN I have it's at:

Descriptions > 70 FITTINGS > INTRODUCTION - FITTINGS

Then scroll down past the "DOOR" section.

wow just managed to read it in detail sounds scary i hope i dont have to adjust this stuff when i replace the cable. maybe the last glass panel at the rear needs a bit of downward adjustment.

Then again i think if i just change the outer rubber seal with a new one it will be a nice tight fit without playing with these adjustments.

Re: Manual to assemble Skywindow

im bringing this topic back up, i managed to find sunroof cables but disassembling the donor was a nightmare. Elearn has no detail of how to do this procedure other than how to remove the glass panels and replace the motors and rubber trim. Is there a proper guid on removing the and fitting all the internal parts of the sunroof out there?

Re: Manual to assemble Skywindow

eLEARN only shows how to replace the glass panels and motors because they are the only spare parts available from Fiat. For anything else, you have to replace the whole roof according to Fiat.

I read somewhere that it's the same or similar roof fitted to the Mercedes A Class and that some spare parts that are available from Mercedes. You may find a better guide to dismantling the roof from a Mercedes forum or worksho manual.

i looked around for info on the A class roof since they seem to be quite similar
and came across this unofficial guide. Clearly the parts are different in the runner area.

i havent found how to take out the runner cable yet something is keeping it in there and dunno what. i see two tiny screws holding down the hinge of the first glass inside where the runner pulls but it seems like its imposisble to reach them in there so they must come out some other way

Sorry to bump an old thread, question....

The seals between the segments of glass on the sky roof, are they available anywhere?

I'm asking because mine don't seem to go end to end, they're about 2 inches or so shorter than the width of the panels (On all panels, some are all the way to the near side and some to the off side). Is that normal, or have they heat shrunk over the years. I don't get any water into the cabin when shut, but so notice a bit of wind noise on the motorway. Thanks in advance.

The gap is standard, Any water going thru this, flows away through the watering channel en thru the pipes in the A and C pillars. You can test if the pipes are open by pouring some water on the roof and see if the water comes out by the front and rear wheels.

looks like the rubber around the opening is worn out though im sure that messes up the water seal around also.
