The Roof Installation Instruction for Jeep Cherokee Sport and Grand Cherokee Ribbed
Part of content: Install as normal, with any of the following options: Use CS-105 (3/8? x 7/16? D-shaped foam seal) as main frame sealant, Measure and cut sunroof hole as usual, Apply self-adhesive CS-105 to sunroof frame (approx. 9 ft. per sunroof). Composite Frame Sunroofs [see illustrations] Composite frames are not as rigid as metal, and tend to twist inward when installed in ribbed or thick roof skins. Use silicone sealant to seal the frame against the roof, and shims prevent the frame from bending out of shape.
Procedure: Measure and cut sunroof hole as usual 2. Cut strips of 3/16? thick material to fit between each rib at the sunroof hole. Run a bead of non-corrosive silicone in troughs between ribs and set strips into it. Fill any gaps with silicone. Objective is to create a flat area for sunroof to seal against. Clean overrun. Allow silicone to set to minimize shifting while installing.3. Cut strips of 1/8? thick x 1/4? wide material to fit between clamp ring and main frame.
