Our own 2000UZJ skyped me with a problem he was having… He has a Mule Expo Roof Rack that is a tad on the longer side and has more than one time\u00a0accidentally\u00a0opened the sun roof “tilt-up” mode crashing the sun roof into the bottom of the rack.<\/p>\n

He wanted a simple modification to prevent this from happening. By removing one wire from the sun roof switch connector we disable the tilt-up feature but keep tilt-down and slide open\/close. Here’s how to do it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Remove the overhead console box<\/li>\n
  2. Locate the Sun Roof switch and disconnect the wire harness<\/li>\n
  3. Locate pin 1, red-yellow wire (R-Y) and remove using the wire pick or small flat screwdriver<\/li>\n
  4. Insulate the newly removed pin terminal with 3m Super33+ and tuck it away<\/li>\n
  5. Reconnect the Sun Roof switch connector to the Sun Roof switch<\/li>\n
  6. Test\u00a0functionality; insert your key in the ignition and test the switch\u00a0functions. Everything but tilt up should work.<\/li>\n
  7. Reattach your console box to the roof and enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
