1. The processes described in this Section do not require complete removal of the hatch structure from the vehicle.
Glass panel
2. Close the panel and slide the visor back completely. Remove the clips from the side guides.
3. Unscrew the panel from the side guides on both sides and remove it (see Figure 11.71).

4. Before installing a new panel, measure the distance between the flanges. Bend flanges as necessary to achieve the required measurement (see Figure 11.72).

5. Remove the protective sheet from the new panel and install it in place. Lift the panel to the "tilted" position and place it on its guides without securing it.
6. Before tightening the side rail screws, close the panel and adjust its position as shown in Figure 11.73, and then tighten the screws.

Control gasket
7. The "control gasket" is the rubber strip that surrounds the glass panel.
8. Remove the glass panel as described above.
9. Disconnect and remove the rubber sealing strip and clean off all old putty, taking care not to damage the glass.
10. Apply putty (GM 90140944, or similar) around the edge of the glass panel (see Figure 11.74).
Figure 11.74 Apply putty to the glass panel as shown
11. Install the new rubber strip, starting from the center of the left edge and working around the perimeter. Install the panel immediately and make sure the rubber strip is properly seated in the closed position. If the specified composition has been used, it will not set and harden for at least an hour, and during this time the position of the sealing strip can be slightly changed to ensure the most suitable placement. Make sure the panel is adjusted to the correct height (see point 6).
Gutter
12. Remove the glass panel as described above.
13. Remove the two Torx screws that secure the gutter. Remove the gutter from the slot in the roof (see Figure 11.75).
Figure 11.75. Removing the gutter - insert shows location of mounting tab
14. Install the gutter into the slot at a certain angle, inserting it so that the retaining protrusions enter the gutter guides.
15. Install and tighten the Torx screws.
16. Install and adjust the glass panel.
Sun visor
17. Remove the gutter as described above.

18. Carefully release the four visor springs from the guides in the roof, using a plastic tool to avoid damage. Remove the visor from its guides (see Figure 11.76).

19. Reinstall by performing the above steps in reverse order. Make sure the ends of the springs fit into the guides.
Crankshaft drive
20. Unscrew the central fastening screw from the handle - the screw head is hidden by a plastic cap. Remove the handle and detach its back plate - be careful not to damage the headliner.
21. Loosen the two mounting screws and remove the crankshaft drive mechanism.
22. When installing a new crankshaft drive mechanism, adjust it as follows.
23. If the hatch cover is open, temporarily install the actuator and close the cover, then remove the actuator again.
24. Turn the drive gear by hand - not the control handle - until the locking pin appears from the housing (see Figure 11.77).

25. Install and secure the crankshaft drive with the locking pin facing forward. Install the back plate and handle.
Wind reflector
26. Remove the glass panel as described above.
27. Using the handle, slide the side blocks back until the wind deflector can be accessed and removed.
28. Transfer the lifters and bearing blocks to the new reflector; secure them with spring clips (see Figure 11.78).

29. Install the new wind deflector, return the side units back to the closed position and replace the glass panel.
