DESCRIPTION

Some customers may complain that in extreme cold weather conditions, the sunroof may suddenly open by itself when the heater is on. This concern may be due to a short in the sunroof switch (A) caused from condensation generated between the roof panel and the seal.

To eliminate this concern in the future, a protective film has been installed to the switch and a pad installed to the harness.
