Matters needing attention in maintaining automobile sunroof and prolonging service life

The skylight has gradually become an inevitable choice for people to buy a car. In addition to being closer to nature, cars with skylights are so happy and romantic to go out to play with friends and family or lie in the car with girlfriends and look up at the stars in the sky. But if there is something wrong with the skylight, it can't be opened; It's not romantic to have frequent leaks or abnormal noises.

In fact, the technology of manufacturing skylights in car factories has made great progress, but skylights need to be maintained just like engines and gearboxes, especially for vehicles parked outdoors, which must withstand wind, rain and sun. In this case, more frequent maintenance is needed to prevent the occurrence of the above situation and prolong the service life of the skylight. Today, we will talk to you about some matters and steps that should be paid attention to in the use and maintenance of skylights.

Matters needing attention in using skylight

1. Before opening the sunroof, pay attention to whether there are obstacles on the roof that prevent the sunroof from sliding.

2. Try not to use the skylight when the road is bumpy, so as not to damage the skylight and related parts of the slide rail by vibration.

3. It is forbidden to open the skylight when it is raining or cleaning the vehicle, so as to avoid the aging and rust of the rubber strip and metal in the skylight due to heavy rain or water droplets.

If you want to open the skylight after a day of rain, try to dry the water drops on the roof before opening it. It can not only prevent the rain from wetting the car, but also prevent the rain from infiltrating into the machinery to shorten the service life.

If you live in a cold area and there is freezing outside, please suddenly open the skylight. The resistance caused by icing may damage mechanical parts and even burn out the motor. If you must open the skylight, please heat it like a "hot car" first. Its practice is to turn on the heating first, and at the same time open the windows on both sides a little, and then open the skylight when the car reaches a certain temperature.

6. Don't use skylights as frequently as windows, which will accelerate the aging and damage of skylights.

7. When closing the sunroof, please confirm that the sunroof has reached the closed position completely and correctly.

Maintenance of skylight

1. If the car often uses the skylight in windy places, it is best to gently wipe the dust or sediment on the skylight slide rail with a wet sponge every month.

2. If the vehicle will be parked for a long time or the skylight will not be used for a long time, fine talcum powder or rubber strip special lubricant can be coated on the rubber strip around the skylight. If the skylight is made of velvet, just wipe it with clean water and a clean cloth. Thoroughly clean once to avoid the aging of rubber strips due to chemical changes in the air for too long.

3. When washing the car, you can check whether there is dirt such as dust, leaves or small trees in the rubber strip and groove of the skylight.

4. Wipe the sliding rail and sealing strip of the skylight gently with a wet sponge every 2 to 3 months, and then spray rubber protectant to lubricate the transmission mechanism and track of the skylight. After applying lubricant, open the skylight completely and close it completely several times, and then wipe off the excess lubricant with a soft cloth to avoid polluting the car.

5. The glass panel of the skylight has the function of isolating heat energy and preventing ultraviolet rays. Please clean with a soft cloth and cleaning agent, not with sticky cleaning agent.

6. When washing the car with a high-pressure water gun, don't aim the water column directly at the sealing ring around the skylight, so as to avoid the deformation of the sealing ring under the injection pressure of the high-pressure water column, otherwise the car will easily enter the water after a long time.
