Panoramic sliding sunroof
The bonded panoramic sliding sunroof is designed as a top load roof system.
The panoramic sliding sunroof is equipped with a manually operated sunroof sun blind. The glass roof has been
widened by about 20 mm on each side. The roof weight has increased by approximately 3 kg. This results from
the structural changes compared with the previous model. A steel frame has been fitted and the panoramic
sliding sunroof has been enlarged. The roll-back function is compliant with the legal requirements.

The glass panel is installed using the R2R (Rail2Rail) concept. The side roof panels are not required with this
design. The glass panel also does not require any moulded PU side trims for this reason. There are, however,
acoustic seals on the glass panel and frame. One further new feature is that the base frame is made of metal and
no longer of plastic. The mechanism for the sliding sunroof is installed from above. Therefore there is no need to
remove the headliner to work on the system.
