As the weather warms up, the sunroof, which has been on hold for half a year, finally has a role to play. However, the sunroof that has not been used for a long time makes a dry rubbing sound when it is opened, and some even get stuck halfway through the opening. How did that happen? How do we care for and use this little piece of sky above our heads?
The unpleasant noise from a sunroof that hasn’t been used for a long time is due to excessive dust and grit trapped on the rails and a severe lack of lubrication in the rails. We can do the maintenance of the sunroof by ourselves. We only need to fully open the sunroof, wipe the dust and stones on the sunroof sliding rail with a clean, soft cloth, lubricate the transmission track of the sunroof by selecting a lubricant that is not sticky and difficult to adsorb, and finally close the sunroof completely and open it several times. Wipe off excess lubricant with a soft cloth. This simple daily maintenance is complete.
We need to pay attention to the following points in daily use:
1. For the electric sunroof, it is best not to open it on bumpy roads Otherwise fully, the vibration between the sunroof and the slide rail will cause the deformation of the related parts and even damage the motor.
2. Pay attention to the waterproofness of the sunroof. The sunroof is sealed with a rubber sealing ring. During use, pay attention to the dustproof of the sealing ring, especially in winter or after a long journey, be sure to use a duster to clean it often. In addition, you must pay attention not to forcibly open the sunroof when the sunroof is frozen, which will damage the motor of the sunroof. In the season of a heavy sandstorm, it is necessary to clean the sealing ring with a sponge every two months.
3. Before the vehicle is ready to park for a long time, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the sunroof track with talcum powder to avoid the appearance of aging caused by the chemical reaction of the sealing ring in the air for too long.
4. In the process of washing the car, avoid using the high-pressure water gun to aim the water column at the sealing ring directly. In this way, not only is it easy for the sealing ring to deform under the pressure of the high-pressure water column, but water enters the car, and it will also damage the sealing ring to a great extent.
