What is the installation method for the Tiguan sunshade curtain?
2 Answers
Remove the inner roof frame and unroll the rolled-up sunshade curtain. Fix the small metal plate on the sunshade curtain onto the limit pins and push it in. Be careful not to deform the metal plate while inserting it. You can go to a 4S shop and have professionals operate it.
Installing the Tiguan sunshade requires a step-by-step approach. As someone who has repaired cars for over a decade, I often encounter cases where owners mess it up themselves. Start by preparing the tools: you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, plastic pry bar, and hex key. Removing the headliner is crucial—gently pry it open from the A-pillar area, avoiding metal tools to prevent scratching the plastic. Then locate the fixing screws on the sunroof track, remove the old shade or install the new one directly, ensuring the gear alignment for smooth sliding. Test the operation several times after installation to confirm smooth, noise-free movement. Avoid letting dust enter the tracks, as it can clog the motor. Having done this hundreds of times myself, I recommend getting an assistant to help hold parts—tight spaces and shaky hands lead to mistakes. Finally, prioritize safety: disconnect the battery to prevent short circuits. It’s a small cost but significantly improves cabin comfort.
