How to Clean a Dirty Panoramic Sunroof Fabric?
2 Answers
When closed, the exterior can be cleaned normally as you would wash a car, while the interior can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. After opening the sunroof, dust in the surrounding grooves can be cleaned by wrapping a dry cloth around a thin wooden stick to wipe, then using a vacuum to remove the dust, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Generally, after 2~3 months of use, the rubber seals or tracks should be cleaned with sandpaper soaked in cold water, and a small amount of lubricant can be applied after wiping. Regularly or before long-term storage, finer calcium powder can also be used for frequent cleaning to extend the lifespan of the sealing rings. Simply wipe away any residual moisture along the edges.
As a sunroof-loving car owner, I find cleaning the panoramic sunroof fabric isn't too difficult—the key is patience to avoid damage. My method is to first close the windows tightly to prevent dust from scattering, then carefully vacuum the fabric surface with a car vacuum using a soft brush head for gentler cleaning. Next, take a clean microfiber cloth dampened with warm soapy water to gently wipe stained areas without applying too much pressure to avoid fabric wear; for stubborn spots, spray some neutral cleaner and wipe a few extra times. After cleaning, open the windows for ventilation to let it air dry naturally—never use a heat gun to prevent damaging internal motors or adhesives. For prevention, avoid parking under trees to reduce leaf and dust accumulation, and minimize sunroof use in dusty areas to save trouble. This way, cleaning every two to three months keeps it fresh.
