Sunroof many cars will be equipped with a configuration, and people will also struggle with whether to choose a model with a sunroof when buying a car. From the consumer's point of view, it mainly looks like a relatively high-end atmosphere, but also expands the lighting area in the car, which is convenient for ventilation at any time, which helps to optimize the actual driving experience. But for most people, it seems that face is more practical than practical.
Previously, sunroofs generally appeared on some high-end models, but in recent years, with the improvement of car manufacturing technology of major car brands, sunroofs are no longer exclusive to luxury models, appearing in more and more family models, so people also have more opportunities to choose sunroofs. But in real life, the frequency of everyone using the skylight is not high, and they often ignore it, and only use it once in a while when they think about it.
Daily nature also does not pay attention to the daily maintenance of the sunroof, with the growth of time, the sunroof will appear water leakage, and when the owner finds it, it is too late. At that time, it is expensive and laborious, so it is also very important for the owner to do a good job in the daily maintenance of the sunroof, even if it is not used, it is necessary to check the status of the sunroof regularly, find problems to solve in time, and avoid causing unnecessary trouble to yourself.
The normal operation of the skylight is inseparable from the slide rail, in the process of using the skylight, the slide rail will inevitably remain some dust, stones and other foreign objects, which will penetrate into the various positions of the slide rail. In this way, the sunroof will not be smooth in the process of sliding, and the foreign body will cause wear and tear on the slide rail and the skylight for a long time, and eventually cause the sunroof to be unable to close completely, so the car owner remembers to regularly clean the foreign body that falls inside the slide rail.
After cleaning up the foreign body, it is best to apply lubricating oil to the slide rail, which can extend the life of the slide rail and the sealing ring, and generally apply it once every 2-3 months. Sealing tape is an important part related to the sealing of the sunroof, which can ensure that the sunroof does not leak water, air leakage and so on. As a consumable, the sealing strip will age and break during long-term use, which will lead to water leakage in the skylight.
In particular, the sealing tape in the sun for a long time exposure, will speed up its aging speed, so the car owner regularly check the status of the rubber strip, if found that the aging damage is serious, it should be replaced in time. The replacement cost is not expensive, and when there is a water leakage, it is not as simple as replacing the rubber strip. Many people do not know that the inside of the skylight will actually seep water, but the water that seeps in is flowing out of the car from the drainage hole designed in the skylight bracket.
With the increase of use time, the drainage hole may be blocked by foreign bodies such as sediment and gravel, and once blocked, it will cause the sunroof to leak, so the owner should also regularly check whether the drainage hole is blocked. In addition to the above maintenance measures, car owners should also develop good habits of use. For example, do not open the sunroof when driving on a bumpy road, the sunroof is prone to vibration.
It may cause deformation and damage to related parts, and it is best to open the skylight when necessary, and do not open and close frequently. Although the frequency of use of car sunroof is not very high, it is also an important car part, and it is always right for the owner to do its daily maintenance, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Of course, for models that are not equipped with sunroofs, owners do not need to worry about this problem.
