Details
What's wrong: If sunroof glass is removed and reinstalled by vehicle operator, hinge assemblies can be accidentally improperly mated.
Why it matters: Sunroof could detach from the vehicle while being driven,creating a risk to following vehicles or people in the vicinity, or to vehicleoccupants if the glass should fall into the cabin.
The fix: Install revised sunroof hinges that will adequately retain sunroof assembly.
