Sunroof Motor: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Do not place objects in the way to check the auto-reverse mechanism.

Inspect the sunroof lid auto-reverse mechanism.

  1. Open the sunroof lid.
  2. Forcefully push the sunroof lid in the opening direction while auto-closing, to check whether the window auto-reverse mechanism functions.
  3. Check whether the window auto-reverse mechanism operates and the roof moves back 150 mm (5.91 in) in the opening direction.
    NOTE:
    • The auto-function is cancelled when the window auto-reverse mechanism is activated more than five times.
    • If the auto function is cancelled, reset it. < Refer to ADJUSTMENT , Sunroof Motor. >
