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

    Moving load of sunshade: 

    Specification 

    18.0±5.0 N (1.8±0.5 kgf, 13±3.7 lbf) 

    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 moving load exceeds specifications, check the glass lid, sunshade and frame assembly for improper installation.
