Jeep Cherokee (Sport) & Grand Cherokee Ribbed Roof PDF Installation Manual

Many sunroof techs are concerned about installing sunroofs in Jeep Cherokees because they have ribbed roofs. Cherokee ribs are only 3/16″ high x 1-1/2″ wide. While most sunroofs are designed to clamp to flat sheet metal, this bulletin explains various techniques for making sunroof installation possible and relatively easy. Similar height ribs may interfere with a sunroof install in the Jeep Liberty, Chevy Astro, GMC Safari, and in the rear sections of many full sized SUV’s.

In order to accommodate the added thickness of the ribs, longer clamp frame screws or peeling one score off a clamp frame may be required. Install as normal, with any of the following options:
o Measure and cut sunroof hole as usual
o Apply self-adhesive CS-105 to sunroof frame (approx. 9 ft. per su
o Join CS-105 ends at a 45Â° angle (not a butt joint). Apply sealant
o Clamp sunroof into hole as usual. No cleanup is required.
