Sunroof Window Height and Opening Fit Adjustment C3Y

    Important: Wind/whistle noise, air leaks and possible water leaks on the C3Y panoramic sunroof when closed. The easiest way to identify the location of the air leak is to use a rubber hose against your ear in order to listen for the air leak. Using a rubber hose, 1/2 inch diameter 3 feet long, listen around all the sunroof window sealing locations while all the door, windows and the sunroof window panels are closed, with the HVAC blower on high. It should be note that some leakage will be heard at the "T" joints on vehicles without a customer complaint.
