• Q: How to Replace the Rear Sunshade Sunroof Cable Assembly on 2005 Cadillac SRX?

  A: The process starts by opening the rear sunshade then proceeding to remove headliner, center, and rear vent window. Mark the position of the rear track to the frame before removing both the rear sunshade motor/actuator and the rear sunshade. Use a screwdriver to remove the rear track assembly screws and then lower the track. Separate the rear track extension from the main track before taking off the rear extension. Push the sunshade cable through the barrel end part until it exits out the track using careful movement after separating the sunshade drive tube from the track. Finally clear the sunshade cable by pulling it through both the barrel end and the return and drive tube components of the motor/actuator compartment before completely removing it from the vehicle. To put it in place begin by pushing the sunshade cable through the drive tube into the motor/actuator compartment. Guide the sunroof/sunshade cable's barrel end to enter the rear track channel and place it correctly on the track's opposite side. Lay the rear track extension and drive tubes onto the rear track and use previous marks to align the rear track with the sunroof frame. Check the cross-vehicle measurement on rear tracks as you drive in screws with specified tightness to 5 N.m (44 lb in). After completing installation of the rear sunshade assembly, rear sunroof/sunshade motor/actuator , rear vent window and center window panel technicians must reinstall the headliner. Complete the initialization steps for the rear vent window sunshade as the last step.
