This track is basically the guide that your roof panel slides into. It’s a molded piece, usually plastic or sometimes metal, that runs along the roof of your vehicle. It holds the panel securely when it's in place, and lets it move smoothly when you want to open or close the sunroof or t – roof. It has little weatherstrips built in too, to keep water out. It’s a key part of the whole roof panel system. Without it, the panel wouldn’t have anything to slide on, and even if it did, it wouldn’t stay put. It works alongside the motor and other components to make the roof function properly. It’s not something you see directly, it’s tucked up there doing its job. Well, if this track gets damaged – maybe it cracks, gets bent, or the weatherstripping deteriorates – you’ll notice if your roof panel isn’t closing properly, or if it’s making a lot of noise. You might even get leaks. It acts like a shield, protecting the opening in your roof from the elements. It's a relatively small part, but it’s important for keeping your car dry and comfortable. If your roof is sticking or isn’t sealing right, this is often the first thing we check. You can find these tracks, along with a lot of other roof panel parts, over at Fixparts Online if you want to take a look. They have pretty good diagrams too, which can help you make sure you're getting the right piece. Long-lasting quality: Track (MPN 5C3871356) includes a 12-month warranty!
