Sunroof adjustment specifications

I found these online and figured I would share them here:

Special tools required:

If the glass slide/tilt sunroof is outside the adjustment tolerances, adjust as follows:

Installation:
Microencapsulated screws (Loctite) must be replaced and may not be reused
Screw connection must be completed within 20 minutes (start of curing)
Microencapsulated screws must not be retightened
Clean thread of nut beforehand in event of repeated use
Adjusting glass slide/tilt sunroof unit:




Carry out the following step on one side first and then the other (first left, then right or vice versa):

Wanted to add an update to these findings. A little backstory about my '08 MCS. I bought it used about three months ago and my one big complaint was excessive noise from the front edge of the sunroof and a rattle from the sunroof. I implemented these specs for adjustment and in place of the tool to feel the gap resistance, I used a piece of cardstock. My rattle is gone and the wind noise has been cut down substantially. the front gap was not tight enough and the levelness relative to the roof was not even close anywhere. I am a happy camper.
