Rear windows and roof panel of 3-door airtop models (Opel Frontera A)

Three-door Airtop models are equipped with removable roof panel and side and rear windows.

Attention! When driving with the windows removed and the top open, passengers should not lean out beyond the dimensions of the car! Do not forget about the need to use seat belts!

Removal and installation the roof panel

1. The roof panel is secured in its regular place using four latches.



2. The front two of them are equipped with blockers.



3. To release the panel, release the latches one by one by pulling them down until the springs are released.

4. Lift the panel and remove it from the vehicle lid.



5. When installing, align the latches on the removable panel with the guides in the roof of the vehicle.

6. Place the lower ends of the latches on the guides and press the upper ends firmly until they click into place.

7. If necessary, repeat the procedure until the panel is securely fixed to the roof of the vehicle.

Attention! It is not allowed to operate the vehicle with the removable roof panel not securely fixed!

Opening, removing and installing side windows

Opening

1. To open the window, pull the latch handle and lock it in this position by turning it outward.

2. When closing the window, make sure that the glass is pressed tightly in the opening and that the latches are securely fastened.

Removal

1. To remove the side window, move the latch of its retainer to the fully open position, then, holding the window, loosen the manual bolt with a plastic head, with which the latch is attached to the body.



2. Carefully remove the hinges from their mounting grooves at the front of the window opening - make sure that the seal does not separate from the flange.

3. When installing the glass, insert the hinges into their grooves and ensure that the glass is pressed correctly against the window opening seal.

4. Tighten the latch bolt completely by hand.

Removal and installation the rear door glass

1. The glass supports are secured to the tailgate with four hand-tightened plastic-headed bolts. Before removing the bolts, disconnect the electrical wiring from the rear wiper motor - the connectors are located under the trim panel.

2. When installing the glass, make sure it is securely pressed against the window opening seal - the surfaces of the glass and seal should be flush with each other.

3. Fully tighten the support bolts by hand and connect the wiring to the wiper motor.

Attention! To prevent exhaust gases from entering the passenger compartment, the tailgate and its glass must be tightly closed while driving (see above).
