Into the fall, the weather is getting cooler and I realize that it is time to take care of my car. Recently, it has been found that whenever the sunroof of the car is opened, whether it is fully opened or when the sunroof glass is lifted up, a constant “squeak” can be heard during the sliding process of the glass. I think it should be caused by the lack of lubrication of the sunroof over time, so I found some lubricating oil and applied it to the sunroof slide rails, and then the noise gradually disappeared. So what other aspects do we need to maintain in the daily use of the sunroof?
There are not many opportunities to use the sunroof, but its maintenance should not be less than that of other components. In some aspects, even more attention should be paid to the particularity of the sunroof. Here is a summary of the maintenance instructions:
P>
1. The sliding mechanism of the skylight is a track type. After a period of use (3 to 6 months), a lot of dust and sand will accumulate in the contact surface and gap of the sliding track. If it is not cleaned regularly, it will cause Excessive wear on sunroof components. When cleaning, first wipe the slide rail with cotton cloth or gauze, and apply a little butter on the slide rail after wiping it clean.
2. The sunroof system also includes many rubber and plastic parts. The parts of this material should not be in contact with oil or viscous substances during normal use, otherwise it will corrode them. When cleaning rubber and plastic parts, just wipe with a clean cotton cloth. After wiping clean, apply a little talcum powder on the surface for protection.
3. Under normal circumstances, the skylight system is equipped with a drainage device. Every year when the rainy season comes or ends, it should be checked whether the drainage device is smooth, whether there is water leakage, and whether there is aging and cracking at the connection of the drainage pipe.
4. In winter, the temperature is low, the sunroof should be opened after snowing and after washing the car, and the water remaining on the edge of the sunroof and the sealing strip should be wiped dry to avoid freezing the sunroof.
5. Do not open the sunroof when the car is violently bumped, the strong vibration will affect the work of the sunroof sliding mechanism and the motor. Once the sunroof fails, please go to the maintenance station for inspection in time.
