With this spring plate, the sliding roof cable is forced to press against the gear wheel, so that the cable snaps properly into the gear wheel.
If the sliding roof system has faults that require replacement of the cables, the rotating mechanism or simply the gear wheel, it is advisable to replace the spring plate at the same time. If it has lost its spring force, the system will never function properly.
