General description of the roof and hatch (Chevrolet Captiva 1)

Roof

The roof is a single painted metal piece that contains the entire headliner. There are two moldings, one on each side of the car's roof, that hide the seams of the roof rails. The roof moldings are repaired separately.

The One-Piece Headliner is made of molded material covered with a woven foam material. The one-piece construction requires that the headliner be repaired as a single unit.

Electric Sunroof/Sunroof Control Switch

The roof hatch has the following characteristics:

• Designed to supply light and air through the roof of the car.
• Built into the roof.
• Made of glass.
• Equipped with a sun visor that opens and closes manually.
• Powered by an electric motor.
• It is controlled by a switch located in the individual lighting lamp assembly.

The sunroof control switch is located in the center of the individual lighting fixture assembly.

To operate the hatch, you need to turn on the ignition.

Opening, opening and closing the hatch

To tilt the rear edge of the sunroof, push the switch rearward and hold it until the sunroof opens in the tilt position.

To close the sunroof from the slightly open tilt position, push the switch forward and hold it until the sunroof closes.

Hatch displacement when opening and closing

To open the sunroof by sliding, push the switch rearward and hold it until the sunroof slides. If the sun visor is closed, the sunroof will open while sliding.



To close the sunroof from the open, slid position, push the switch forward and hold it until the sunroof slids to the closed position.

Sun visors with vanity mirror

They also move to the side when removed from the caliper.
