Maintain Your BMW Sunroof with Proper Care Tips from Destin Area

May 6, 2013

A sunroof is one of the most popular features drivers are looking for in a vehicle and in order to ensure it brings years of enjoyment, you need to care for it properly. Our BMW service center near Destin FL has some tips to ensure your sunroof lasts. Regular driving can affect the condition of your sunroof and the outdoor elements can cause damage or wear and tear that eventually can ruin the reliability of your sunroof.

Just like your vehicle’s other glass windows, your sunroof will need to be cleaned with a quality glass cleaner that is not abrasive. Using a lint-free cloth, work to remove the dirt and grime from the glass and then use a second clean cloth to prevent streaks. Sunroofs are surrounded by a rubber gasket which keeps the glass sealed against leaks. The gasket should be lubricated several times a year using a silicone-based product. Never use petroleum jelly which can cause deterioration. Clean off excess lubricant with a lint-free cloth.

Our Destin area BMW service center technicians should regularly inspect the condition of your sunroof. If any wear or damage is noted on the sunroof, our technicians can make the repairs while they are still minor and help you save money. In the event the sunroof is susceptible to leaks, it can lead to a lot of water to the vehicle’s interior.

We also offer professional detailing services to ensure the sunroof, as well as the entire vehicle is properly cleaned. Professional detailing can be done to the exterior and the interior. Our team will work to remove dirt and grime from your finish and can deep clean the interior upholstery any carpeting for long-lasting protection.
