2. Pull the spring scale to measure moving load of the sunshade.

   Moving load of sunshade: 

   20 N (2.04 kgf, 4.5 lb) or less 

   NOTE: Moving load is larger at the beginning of pulling a spring scale, so take a spring scale reading while sunshade sliding smoothly.
3. If it exceeds the specification, check the sunroof lid, sunshade, deflector and guide rail assembly for improper installation.
