Note:
To determine if this procedure is covered under Warranty, always refer to the Warranty Policies and Procedures
Manual. Documentation required per Warranty Policies and Procedures Manual.
For vehicles outside of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty this Technical Bulletin is for information only.
Technical Background
Incorrect rework in production of the welding points of the sunroof frame area. Spot welds around the perimeter of
the sunroof opening may be too large. This prevents the outer sunroof seal from properly adhering to the body of
the vehicle, allowing water to leak through the seal.
Insufficient cleaning process prior to applying outer sunroof seal. The sunroof frame opening may have been
improperly cleaned prior to application of the acrylic tape on the outer sunroof seal. This prevents the outer
sunroof seal from properly adhering to the body of the vehicle, allowing water to leak through the seal.
Production Solution
Improved rework process in production as of VIN AU_JM752863.
