How The Part Works
The motor drives the sunroof geartrain and the sunshade mechanism via an integrated gearbox. When the roof switch is activated, the motor converts electrical input into controlled rotational movement to open, close or tilt the glass panel and to extend or retract the sunshade. Limit switches or internal clutch mechanisms stop travel at end positions to protect the mechanism.
