The roof opening panel is an electronically operated glass panel that can be opened, closed or tilted (vent position) by the roof opening panel control switch and the vent switch. Actuating the switches supplies a signal to the roof opening panel motor/module. The front sliding glass panel and the shield (sunshade) use two integrated motors/modules that are serviced together as assemblies. The roof opening panel has one-touch open and one-touch close features that are activated when the switch is pressed to the second detent on the glass open or close side of the switch (the sliding glass panel close switch acts as a vent switch when the glass is in the closed position).
