Although it has entered winter, Suzhou is still experiencing constant rain. Taking advantage of the moderate rain to do basic maintenance for the sunroof. Now it is felt that more and more cars are equipped with sunroof. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has many functions.
There are two main ways to open the sunroof. One is the rear tilting opening. Its main function is to ventilate during driving. After the rear end is strongly lifted, the turbid air inside the car is drained out by using the principle of negative pressure, thus allowing the air inside and outside the car is exchanged. In rainy and snowy weather, when the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is large, dew is easy to rise inside and outside the car. Using this ventilation method can effectively keep the temperature inside and outside the car consistent and there is no need to worry about rainwater entering the car.
Another way to open the sunroof is fully open. The sunroof of Little White Wolf is a built-in opening. After opening the sunroof, the sunroof is retracted inside the vehicle
Although the switch is adjusted to the maximum position, a small part of the sunroof is still left outside and cannot be fully opened. If the switch continues to be rotated, the sunroof will continue to retract inward until it is fully opened.
You can see that the skylight slide rail is full of debris and soil. No wonder there is a sound when the skylight is opened. If it is not treated for a long time, the slide rail will be damaged and the sealing will be affected. If the leakage hole is blocked, it will leak in heavy rain. A series of problems such as water leakage. Therefore, the skylight must be maintained regularly
Use a wet towel to clean up the debris and soil first. Use a tool such as a screwdriver to wrap the towel in small areas to clean up. Be careful not to use too much force, which will not only scratch your car. Scratch flowers can also easily hurt your hands.
Also clean the skylight glass. It is covered with dust. After cleaning, it becomes much brighter and the lighting inside the car is better.
After cleaning the sunroof, check whether the drainage hole is smooth. The drainage pipe of the sunroof is connected from four pipes of pillar A and pillar C. When draining, the drainage speed is very fast. Coupled with the tightness of the sunroof, even if rainwater enters, Don’t worry. Pour a little water in during the experiment. As soon as you pour it in, you can see the water flowing out of the tire position. From the speed of the water guide, you can determine that the drainage hole is smooth and unobstructed.
The cleaning work is done, and it is time for maintenance. The first thing to maintain was the sealing rubber parts of the skylight. Since this part is the most susceptible to aging after being exposed to the sun for a long time, I bought a special rubber protectant from the Internet.
Shake it evenly before use and insert the catheter into the nozzle, which makes it easier to spray the rubber part on the edge of the skylight.
Spray protective agent evenly on all sides of the skylight along the edge of the skylight, and wait a few minutes to wipe it off with a towel or paper towel.
Finally, the sunroof slide rail is maintained. When the sunroof slide rail is old, its resistance will increase, and the noise will become louder and louder when it is opened. This requires adding lubricating oil to it.
First clean up the old lubricating oil on the slide rail, then evenly spray the lubricating oil on the slide rail, and then open and close the sunroof several times to fully lubricate the slide rail and sunroof.
Although sunroof maintenance is simple, it still takes a certain amount of time to do it all well, especially when you need to step on stools or doors during maintenance, and you must pay attention to safety.
