How To: Fix your sunroof bezel

[mcphatty]

I know a lot of people have been complaining about their sunroof bezels popping off, so I thought I'd make a quick write-up on how I fixed it on my car.

I had a lot of trouble getting the bezel to stay in place once I popped it back on, only having it pop back off everytime I used the sunroof. This is a little bit of a sloppy fix, but it seems to do the job, and will hold that bezel very securely.

I dont have a picture of what the clips looked like before the fix, but on the left side of the opening you'll need to flatten out the metal clips as shown in the picture below. You'll also need to flatten out the clip opposite of the one circled.



Now we need to focus on the actual bezel. Shave the outer edges of one of the clips on the  bezel, and shave a little off of the grabbing part of the clip too. This will allow it to fit between the loop and the clip of the flattened metal.



From there, its easiest if you pull down the headliner. You can do this pretty easy by just folding up the weather stripping around the sunroof, and pulling down on the headliner.



Align the shaved clip with the metal loop in the headliner. Push down from the inside of the headliner while you're pushing up on the bezel and everything should snap back into place.  If done correctly, it'll look good as new, and wont be falling back down anytime soon.

[mcphatty]

well at least someone knew what i was getting at

[braineater]

oh i am sure they are good instructions, but i am also sure that i will f*** up and damage something, might as well let the dealer fix it, and of course they will fix it, its a lease.

[braineater]

well this time when i put the bezel back on it cocked the button all sideways so its a trip to the dealership for me! and before anyone says that i can just fix it myself i will tell you that maybe YOU can fix it yourself but i cant, i suck at that kind of stuff, i can completely understand every line of instruction on a how to and still mess it up because my hands wont do what i tell them to.
