Finding clips for sun roof (already read FAQ) 700

Last week while opening my sun roof, the metal clip inside of the sunroof that is attached to the metal pole with springs (thats a detailed, one sentence description), decided to break. Oddly enough, the sunroof still works. The liner on the driver sags a little when its in vent, this is because the black spring no longer anything to attach to, but it still opens. When I open it all the way and then close it, it closes until it gets about an inch from the end. At that point, it just stops. I have to reopen it and force it shut with my hands to fully close it.

Anyway, i figure that the little clip that broke is causing all of this. They are plastic on one end and and have a rod a metal (or silver colored plastic) about 2.5 inches long going through the plastic part. I still have one of them inside of there. It seems to be working fine.

Does anyone know where i can purchase these clips? I just got a bunch of "work on car" money and i was going to finally finish up fixing my car in the next month or so. So, of course i want the sunroof to work too. Figured i would buy one of those sunroof windflaps to go with the new paint job.


Thanks again.
