3. Connect the vacuum cup to the force gauge, and then pull up slowly on the vacuum cup with 60 N maximum force
(50 N for Mobile Service) (Figure 3). Inspect the front roof applique for the following:
CAUTION: Carefully pull up the vacuum cup to prevent accidental damage to the front roof applique and rear
door roof glass seals.
• If the front roof applique separates from the roof AND the front roof applique is damaged, replace the front
roof applique (refer to Service Manual procedure 12206002), and then skip to step 6.
• If the front roof applique separates from the roof AND the front roof applique is undamaged, remove the
front roof applique, remove the old sealant from the front roof applique, reinstall the front roof applique
(refer to Service Manual procedure 12206002), and then skip to step 6.
• If the front roof applique stays sealed on the roof, the front roof applique adhesion is in good condition.
Continue to the next step.
