Automotive sunroof maintenance two key cleaning strip clean drain

In summer and autumn, due to the increased frequency of use, skylights are prone to failure. Therefore, the maintenance expert reminds the owner that the maintenance of the sunroof cannot be ignored. Maintenance is mainly twofold. One is to clean the strips once a year, and the other is to clean the drains every two years and lubricate the rails properly.

Long-term maintenance of skylights may leak. Even if the sunroof of the car is closed tightly, it will still seep water in rainy days. This is due to the gradual deterioration of the skylight's sealing ring during use, leading to leakage of the sunroof. After the maintenance of the sunroof, the displacement of the sealing strip “is lifted” occurs. This is due to the excessive friction between the strip and the roof. Talc powder can be regularly lubricated to reduce excess friction on the basis of tightness.

Experts remind that: In general, in addition to smokers, some owners of the skylight usage is very low, and even many owners are lack of care for the skylight, long-term maintenance, it is prone to aging and other conditions. To know that any one thing is prone to various problems if it is not used for a long time. Each time the maintenance, it is necessary to remind the master to check the sunroof.

Once leaked, it must be repaired immediately. There are many reasons why the skylight leaks. One is a problem with the drainage system. There is a pit at the sunroof. If the drainage is not good, it will flow into the car. The cause of water leakage is mainly the two drain pipes in the A column, such as the rubber of the sealing joint aging or leaking causing water leakage. In addition, the sunroof drain is generally more secretive, and different models are located in different locations. Normal maintenance of 4S shop professionals is also easier to ignore. If the sunroof is leaking, check that the drain is blocked by dust. There is no special requirement for routine maintenance of auto sunroof. Simply check the sealing strip around the sunroof for damage and check the lubrication condition of the track.

Experts advise: If there is a leak in the skylight, it is recommended to go to the 4S shop repair shop to let the maintenance master take water to test the skylight, find the leak point and then repair. Another reason is that the vehicle is leaking due to a collision accident. This is likely to make the vehicle's body size not correct. In this case, it needs to be recalibrated.

The lack of strictness in the skylight will also cause problems. If you use the skylight frequently, you will find that the sunroof is not closed. This is due to minor problems that the owners do not often care about. Because the sunroof design has the function of anti-squeezing, it will cause problems when the sunroof track is blocked by dust. Therefore, this is the reason why the owners often wipe the dust in the track. If you do not meet the strict situation of the skylight, the owners can make the skylights first tilt up, tilt the switch and hold it for 1 minute, so that the sunroof will turn up a part of it, and then the skylight will be completely closed.

Experts advise that it is best not to fully open the sunroof on extremely bumpy roads. Otherwise, the vibration between the sunroof and the slide rails may cause the relevant parts to be deformed or even damage the motor. There are many sunroof failures that are caused by the user's human factors. For example, manual sunroof locks or handles inadvertently reverse the direction of damage to the sunroof.
