Sunroof Maintenance
Conservation one
1. It can be cleaned frequently with finer talcum powder, which can prolong the service life of the sealing ring. The moving part of the sunroof is made of low-maintenance materials. The mechanical part should be cleaned regularly with oil or lubricant, and it is recommended to clean it every two months.
2. After the skylight has been used for a long time, there will generally be a lot of sand deposits in its slide rails and gaps. If it is not cleaned regularly, the skylight components will be worn. The surrounding of the slide rail should be cleaned frequently to avoid sand deposition and prolong the service life of the sunroof seal. Generally, when using for 2 to 3 months, clean the sealant strip or slide rail with gauze dipped in cleaning water, and apply a little oil or butter after wiping it clean.
3. Before opening the sunroof, pay attention to whether there are obstacles on the roof that hinder the operation of the glass panel. The sunroof panel is designed to insulate heat energy and prevent ultraviolet rays. Please clean it with a soft cloth and detergent, not with viscous detergent.
4. The biggest concern when using skylights is rain and water leakage. Correct use and maintenance of skylights can effectively avoid water leakage. Before entering the rainy season, in addition to cleaning the sand and dust in the gaps of the slide rails and sealing strips, you should also spray a little plastic protective agent or talcum powder on the sealing strips and other components.
5. In winter, after snowing or washing the car, the sunroof glass and the sealant frame may be frozen. At this time, if the sunroof is forcibly opened, it is easy to damage the sunroof motor and rubber sealing strip. The correct way is to open the sunroof after snow or after washing the car, and dry the residual moisture on the edge.
6. On extremely bumpy roads, it is best not to open the sunroof completely, otherwise, the vibration between the sunroof and the slide rail may be too large, which may cause deformation of related components or even damage the motor. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to open the sunroof when it is raining or washing the vehicle.
Conservation II
Car sunroof makes the car more beautiful, maintenance and inspection are also very important
The car sunroof not only has a very practical role, but also makes the car more beautiful. In the coming summer, car owners should pay attention to checking and maintaining the sunroof of their car to prevent heavy rain outside and light rain in the car. Deformation of sealing parts.
1. Pay attention to the waterproofness of the sunroof. The sunroof is sealed with a rubber sealing ring. During use, pay attention to the dustproof of the sealing ring, especially in winter or after a long journey, be sure to use a duster to clean it often. In addition, you must pay attention not to forcibly open the sunroof when the sunroof is frozen, which will damage the motor of the sunroof. In the season of heavy sandstorm, it is necessary to clean the sealing ring with a sponge every two months.
2. For the electric sunroof, it is best not to open the sunroof completely on bumpy roads, otherwise, the vibration between the sunroof and the slide rail will be too large, which will cause the deformation of the related parts, and even damage the motor.
3. In the process of washing the car, avoid using the high-pressure water gun to directly aim the water column at the sealing ring. This will not only easily deform the sealing ring under the pressure of the high-pressure water column and cause water to enter the car, but also damage the sealing ring to a great extent.
4. Before the vehicle is ready to be parked for a long time, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the sunroof track with talcum powder to avoid the aging of the sealing ring caused by chemical reaction in the air caused by too long time.
Maintenance three
Pay more attention to the status of the sunroof rails
The sunroof is very cool to use, provided that the sunroof rail mechanism is in a "healthy state" - that is, no foreign objects, no deformation, and a high degree of lubrication. Car owners usually have to develop the habit of checking the sunroof rails. If they wait until an abnormal situation occurs, it will be too late.
We can lubricate with a special lubricant for skylight rails, but there is a cheap and easy-to-use alternative, industrial vaseline, which can be bought for ten yuan at a chemical store for a large bucket.
The sunroof should not be used too frequently
Although the sunroof is also a part of the car window, its mechanical structure is not the same as the car door and window, and it is also much more squeamish, so its frequency of use should not be too high.
Do not open the sunroof immediately when the car is cold in winter
The winter in the north is extremely cold. After the car has been parked overnight, the edge of the sunroof may be frozen by dew, and the sunroof may not be opened temporarily. At this time, the owner must not open the sunroof immediately, because the snow in the sunroof groove will increase the opening resistance of the sunroof, and blindly operating the sunroof will cause the sunroof switch motor to burn out.
Try not to open the sunroof on bumpy roads
If the vehicle is driving on bumpy roads, it is best not to open the sunroof. When the car is driving on an uneven road, not only the people in the car can't stand it, but the sunroof is also prone to problems.
