A great addition to the car is a sliding and folding roof hatch. The hatch consists of two parts. The upper part is folding, glass, with a raster, specially treated against ultraviolet penetration. Under it is a sliding part. It is opaque, made of plastic in the color of the car. The roof hatch can either be completely opened by moving both parts, or only the opaque lower part can be moved, and the glass part can be smoothly folded back up. The drive of the roof mechanisms is provided by an electric motor (12V, max, current 28A) – (see fig. Sliding and tilting roof hatch I). The equipment has limit switches that turn off the engine in the extreme positions of the moving elements of the hatch. The connection to the vehicle's electrical wiring is solved using a six-pole connector. The control is concentrated in the switch located in the frame of the ceiling light housing, which, in the case of installing a roof hatch, is fixed in the lower casing of the mechanism with an electric motor (the service manual is given in the SERVICE BOOK). When opening the sliding part of the hatch, it is necessary to remove water from the contour grooves in case of rain. This is solved by four hoses in the corners of the roof frame. Valves are inserted in all the outflows, the check valves of which prevent accidental suction of water (due to air pressure while driving) back (see fig. Sliding and tilting roof hatch II).
The moving parts of the hatch are sealed in the frames and between each other with rubber profiles. A schematic representation is shown in Fig. Electric drive of the sliding and folding roof hatch and Water outflow from the space of the folding and sliding roof hatch.
In case of voltage drop, in emergency mode, you can manually control the roof hatch by removing the lower cover under the electric motor (in the front part of the car ceiling), you need to remove the steel hexagon handle from the holder, insert it into the hole in the electric motor shaft and turn it.
