SMART HATCH
17
3.2.4. Position the hatch so that the red
handle is at the back of the opening (to-
wards the rear of the vehicle). Center the
hatch inside the roof opening so that the
gap is equal on all four sides of the cut-out,
being careful that the butyl seal doesn’t
seat on the roof until item is secured.
3.2.5. Once the hatch is in position,
pull down on the outer flanges to set
the butyl adhesive all four sides.
The roof hatch must be installed onto a smooth surface
to allow proper sealing of butyl tape between frame and
outer roof material. Any variations or deviations can result in
water intrusion, proper roof preparation is the responsibility
of the installer.
