Subject: | Sunroof Sunshade will not Fully Open and/or Rattles From Rear of Sunshade (File Material from Sunshade)

Models: | 1991 Saturn Coupes

### Condition

Some sunroof sunshades will not slide to the full-open (rearward) position in the sunroof opening. Also, a rattle or clicking noise from the rear of the sunshade can be heard when the sunshade is partially open.

### Cause

The back edge of the rear section of the sunshade contacts 2 mounting studs used for the sunroof module.

### Correction

File off 3 mm (0.20 in) of material from the rear of the sunshade where it contacts the 2 mounting studs. This will allow the sunshade to slide to the full-open (rearward) position.

### Procedure

1. Power the sunroof to the vent position.
2. Slide the sunshade to the closed (forward) position.
3. Protect the paint at the rear of the sunroof opening as shown.
4. Using a file, or similar tool, carefully file off 3 mm 0.20 in) of material from the back edge of the sunshade in the areas shown.
5. Cleanup material filings with a vacuum cleaner.
6. Inspect the operation of the sunshade to ensure that it travels to the full-open position.
