How to Replace the Sunshade Curtain for Tiguan's Sunroof?
2 Answers
Open the rolled-up sunshade curtain, fix the small iron plate above the curtain onto the stitching, gently push it in without deforming the iron plate, and it will be in place once inserted. You can go to a 4S shop to have professionals operate it. The Tiguan is equipped with a panoramic sunroof, and the car has a sunshade curtain below the sunroof to avoid excessive temperature inside the car.
My Tiguan's sunroof shade got stuck a while ago, so I decided to replace it myself. After parking and turning off the engine, I closed the sunroof and found a spacious area to work. The roof liner is secured with several plastic clips, which I carefully removed using a pry tool, being cautious not to apply too much force to avoid damage. The exposed mechanical parts of the shade usually consist of tracks and mounting clips—I checked if the old shade was torn or detached. I gently pulled out the old one and cleaned any dust or debris from the tracks. I bought an OEM replacement shade online for about a hundred yuan, making sure the model matched correctly. During installation, I aligned the new shade with the tracks and pushed it in, then tested the sliding motion for smoothness. The whole process took nearly two hours, and my hands were tired, but DIY saved me labor costs. If you're not familiar with the process, I recommend watching tutorial videos or seeking help from a repair shop. Regularly cleaning the sunroof can also prevent debris buildup.
