Sun Roof Function
The main functions of the sun roof are to provide light and ventilation to the vehicle. The sun roof allows extra light into the passenger compartment. Ventilation can be regulated by opening the sun roof.
When the sun roof is in the angled position, rainwater can enter from the glass and the air. Small amounts of water can also find their way in, for example when washing. The drainage channel (1) is there to route rainwater to the cassette gutter. The molding installed around the glass prevents water and dirt from penetrating the vehicle.
The sharks tooth strip under the glass reduces the whistling sound that can occur when the sun roof is in the angled position.
The wind deflector (2) diverts the wind and so reduces the noise that can occur when driving at certain speeds.
The sun screen (3) is there to protect the driver and the passengers from intense sunlight. It also provides insulation against cold.
The apron molding / anti-trapping device (4) gives the sun roof an attractive appearance, at the same time as preventing anyone from becoming trapped when the sun roof is opened or closed.
