Where is the Sunroof Motor Located?

[McMila]

Vehicle sunroof motors are typically installed on the inner front side of the headliner beneath the sunroof. Regular Maintenance: Regular application of fine talcum powder can extend the lifespan of the sealing rings. The moving parts of the sunroof are made of low-maintenance materials, so mechanical components should be periodically cleaned with engine oil or lubricant. It is recommended to clean them every two months. Regular Cleaning: Over time, sand particles tend to accumulate in the sunroof's sliding tracks and gaps. If not cleaned regularly, these particles can wear down the sunroof components. Frequently clean around the sliding tracks to prevent sand buildup and prolong the sealing ring's lifespan. Generally, every 2 to 3 months, use gauze soaked in cleaning solution to wipe the sealing strips or sliding tracks. After drying, apply a small amount of engine oil or grease. Precautions When Opening the Sunroof: In winter after snowfall or car washing, the sunroof glass and sealing rubber frame may freeze. Forcing the sunroof open under such conditions can easily damage the motor and rubber seals. The correct approach is to open the sunroof after snowfall or car washing and wipe off any residual moisture along the edges.
