How to Replace the Sunshade for Buick LaCrosse Sunroof?
2 Answers
To remove the sunshade for Buick LaCrosse's sunroof, you need to first dismantle the car's headliner; otherwise, it cannot be replaced. It needs to be replaced together with the trunk partition and trunk border trim panel. Otherwise, you'll have to manually modify the trunk partition.
Replacing the sunshade of the Buick LaCrosse's sunroof isn't actually difficult—I've done this job for a friend myself. First, gather some tools: a small screwdriver, plastic pry bar, and a small wrench. Safety first—it's best to wear gloves to avoid scratches. When operating, open the sunroof to the top, gently pry open a corner of the roof trim panel with the pry bar, locate the screws securing the sunshade, and remove them. The old shade usually has a clip or cord mechanism—carefully release it before removing to avoid snapping the cord. Next, install the new sunshade, align it with the tracks and slots, push it into place, and secure the screws. Test the opening and closing a few times to ensure smooth operation. If the shade appears uneven or makes unusual noises, it might not be aligned properly. The whole process takes about half an hour and costs much less than a repair shop—around 100 to 200 RMB. Beginners are advised to check the vehicle manual or search for a video tutorial online and prepare the new parts before starting.
