FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Rev-0, Rev-1, and Rev-2?
A: Rev-0 (black with no reinforcement) is the original design prone to failure. Rev-2 uses reinforced tabs and improved plastic to address the common breakage issue. This is the latest design available.
Q: Does this fit the front moonroof too?
A: No — the 84900118 retainer is specifically for the REAR moonroof glass panel. The front panel uses a different latch mechanism.
Q: Do I need to remove the headliner?
A: No — the rear moonroof latch is accessible from above with the glass tilted open. Most installations take 15-20 minutes with a basic screwdriver.
Q: Will this stop my sunroof from leaking?
A: If the leak is caused by a broken latch not holding the glass firmly against the seal, yes. If the seal itself is damaged or deteriorating, you may need a new sunroof seal as well.
Q: Is there a left and right side version?
A: This retainer is used on both the left and right sides of the rear moonroof panel — they are symmetrical. Order two for a complete rear panel replacement.
