Roof Opening Panel

The roof opening panel consists of the following components:

Air deflector
Control switch (overhead console)
Drain hoses
Roof opening panel frame
Roof opening panel glass
Roof opening panel motor/module
Roof opening panel shield
Headliner retainer
Trough assembly
Weatherstrip

The roof opening panel is an electronically operated glass panel that can be opened, closed or vented by the roof opening panel control switch. The roof opening panel operates by using an integrated motor and module. The roof opening panel module receives voltage from the CJB on two circuits. The CJB supplies ignition voltage when the ignition is ON, and battery positive voltage at all times. The roof opening panel switch receives voltage from the roof opening panel module and then supplies voltage signals back to the roof opening panel module to operate the roof opening panel, depending on switch position. The roof opening panel system has a "one-touch" or "express" opening feature fully opening the sliding glass panel and for the vent positions. There is no "one-touch" or "express" close feature.

The shade assembly has no electrical operation, however is designed to be automatically pushed open along with the roof opening panel. The shade assembly can be opened and closed manually with the roof opening panel closed by using the recessed handle to slide forward or backward. The shade assembly can only be closed by manually sliding it forward.
