J 41718 Sunroof Timing Pins

Important: This sunroof system is timed from the factory in order to allow the actuator to shut off automatically when the sunroof window reaches a certain position. Use extreme care when removing the actuator from the sunroof module. This may cause the timing to be thrown off. This may damage to the sunroof. Anytime the actuator needs to be removed from the module, ensure that the sunroof window is in the fully closed position.

1. Remove the sunroof window. Refer to Sunroof Glass Panel Replacement .
2. Place the sunroof module in the fully closed position.
3. Remove the headliner. Refer to Headlining Trim Panel Replacement in Interior trim.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the actuator.

Important: Before removing the actuator, ensure that the pins J 41718 are tight and holding the cable.

5. Thread the J 41718 into the front sunroof window screw hole in order to retain the cable adjustment.
6. Remove the sunroof actuator screws.

1. Install the sunroof actuator to the module.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
